General Notes: Husband - George W. Lesher

---

He was educated in the public schools and reared on the farm. At nineteen years of age he took his father's place in the sawmill. He rented his father's farm and mill, on shares, the same year he was married. In 1890 he bought his father's farm of 115 acres with the sawmill, his father making his home with him until his death. In 1897 he bought the old John Detrich farm of twenty-seven acres, two miles southeast of Greencastle, on which he then resided, but continued to own the old C. D. Lesher homestead.
