He was educated in Dublin and about 1858 came to the United States. Before he left home, his mother said, "This won't be goodbye. Daniel will be sending for us." And eventually, send for them he did......his mother and father, his brother Edward, and his sisters, Mary and Ann. The first job he had on the east coast was at a fishery. He later became a railroad man, and when he had saved some money, bought 400 acre farm northwest of Defiance. Dan Lehan met Ann Caulfield, the daughter of Mr. and Ms. James Caulfied, who, with their family, came west from Indiana by covered wagon, lived for a time in Lost Nation, Iowa, and arrived in Shelby County and settled on a farm near Earling about 1870. Dan and Ann were married and were blessed with six children: Daniel Jr., Edward, Jeremiah, Mathilda Marie, and two sons who died in infancy. Before the turn of the century, the Lehans moved into the town of Defiance to send the children to school. For a time they were the only Catholic family in Defiance. Defiance was a mission parish and Mrs. Lehan took are of the altar linens. Many of their farm neighbors would visit them after Mass. The McCanns, McGinns, O'Meara's, and O'Sheas. Relatives included the Thomas Noonen family (Mrs. Noonen was the former Rose Caulfield, a sister of Mrs. Lehan.) Dan and Ann Lehan cared for their parents in their home in their later years. Mr. Lehan's father lived to be more then 100. Mathilda Lehan Hassett's First Holy Communion certificate is dated April 29, 1900, Earling, and is signed by Rt. Rev. H. Cosgrove and Father Joseph B. Hummert. She graduated from the Defiance High School, attended the Denison Normal College, and taught school for eight years before she married John Hassett of Denison, in the first St. Peter's Church in Defiance on April 24, 1912. Dan Lehan married a neighbor girl, Ann Schleier, and Jerry Lehan married Alice Kearney of Vail. The family returned to the farm. Mr. Lehan died shortly after the turn of the century. After Tillie, Dan and Jerry married, Ed and his mother moved back to Defiance. They lived about a block and a half south of the present church.
