General Notes: Husband - Joseph G. Lesher

---

He was born in Point township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, but much of his time in boyhood was spent in Snyder County, his education being obtained in the com-mon schools. His first occupation was agricult-ure, which he followed until 1886, when he bought the Selins Grove Times. This was a weekly paper, and under his administra-tion it was a firm champion of the best interests of the locality. As he was a Democrat, the Times supported the principles of that party at all times. He was a leader in Democratic councils, and was frequently been a delegate to State Conventions. On one occasion he allowed his name to be presented on the ticket as a can-didate for the Legislature, an act which was in the nature of a sacrifice, as no member of that party could hope for election from Snyder county.
