JOSEPH LESH a successful agriculturist of Rock Creek Township, engaged in farming and stock-raising on section 9, was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, March 29, 1835. His parents, John and Elizabeth (Ulrich) LESH, were natives of Pennsylvania and of German ancestry. They had a family of twelve children, of whom nine are still living. Of this family our subject was the seventh son and tenth child. He was reared on a farm in his native county until 1850, when he came with his parents to Wells County, Indiana, they locating on a tract of unimproved land on section 17, Rock Creek Township. Here his father purchased sixty acres, which he cleared and improved, making his home on this land until his death, which occurred in January, 1864, at the age of sixtytwo years. His widow survived until May, 1881, dying at the advanced age of eighty-three years. She was an active and consistent member of the German Reformed church. Joseph LESH was fifteen years of age when he came with his parents to Wells County. He lived on the home farm in Rock Creek Township until 1856, when he went to Murray, Wells County, and began clerking in the store of Hiram Hatfield, where he remained two years. He then went to Bluffton, and was employed by George Arnold for one year, when he went to Markle and engaged in the mercantile business with his former employer, Mr. Hatfield. A year later he purchased his partner's interest and continued the business four years. In 1864 he sold out the business and purchased a small farm on section 9, where he has since followed farming, and by his own efforts has accumulated his present fine property, which consists of 420 acres of well improved and highly cultivated land, the result of persevering, industry and good management. Mr. Lesh was married October 4, 1860, to Miss Sarah LESH, a daughter of John and Harriet (McAffee) LESH, who came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Wells County, Indiana, in 1847. Eight children have been born to this unionÃ‚â€”Daniel W., Douglas A., Quilla, Priscilla (died aged five months), Sylvester, Ulysses S., Lincoln and John E. Mr. and Mrs. Lesh are and have been members of the Evangelical Lutheran church since 1861. In politics Mr. Lesh is a Republican. At present he is serving as secretary for the Rock Creek Fire Insurance Company, and also for the Rock Creek Detective Association. Copyright Â© 1998-2009, MyFamily.com Inc. and its subsidiaries.
