General Notes: Husband - Jacob S. Lesher

---

He spent his early years on the farm with his parents, and his education was acquired at the common schools. Being of a very ingenious turn of mind he took up the business of watchmaking, which he followed from his boyhood. Late in life, he still had in his possession a wooden watch made by hand by himself, which weighed two ounces, and which kept regular time. Mr. Lesher took several extended trips to the Western States and Territories, during which time he was engaged in collecting and preserving rare specimens of birds, animals, Indian relics, etc. His museum was considered the largest and most valuable private collection of stuffed animals and birds and relics in the county. The farm where he resided consisted of 130 acres of land located on the Hagerstown and Waynesboro pike, near Waynesboro, whither he removed in 1883, after which time he superintended the farm and followed watchmaking. Mr. Lesher was a Republican and served as school director.
