General Notes: Husband - Felix H. Lesher
He was born in the Mahantongo valley in Eldred township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and there received such education as the local public schools afforded. His experience in farming covered all his lifetime, for he continued agricultural work when he began life on his own account, and eventually bought a property, a fertile tract of eighty-six acres in Barry township. There he raised general crops, and made a specialty of cattle raising, developing this branch of his work, in which he was notably successful, to profitable proportions. His enterprise was the means of introducing better grades of stock throughout the vicinity, many having followed his lead after he proved the wisdom of his course. Local farmers who hesitated to make the comparatively heavy investment necessary to establish a valuable herd came to see the excellent policy he advocated, and its results fully justified the change. Mr. Lesher was chosen to a number of township offices. He and his wife united with the German Lutheran Church.
