General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lesher

---

He came to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, from Berks County, where the Leshers had been settled for a number of generations.
Upon settling in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, he made his home in Stone Valley, owning the farm which later became the property of Elias Philips, which was considered the best farm in the township. He erected buildings on that place. He was prosperous, and also owned an adjoining farm, his holdings comprising fully three hundred acres, so that he was one of the substantial men of his time. He was a member of the Evangelical Association and he and Frederick Bohner were the first of that denomination in the township and instrumental in the establishment of Troutman's Church and Bohner's cemetery. Mr. Lesher was a devout Christian and a well known exhorter.

Another source States that he and his wife were buried in the Uniontown cemetery.
