ROBERT S. LENON.

   Robert S. Lenon died at his home in Camden, Monday evening, December 18,
1908, and the announcement of his death created a deep and widespread sorrow,
for he had a large acquaintance and everyone who knew him mourned his death. He
was born in Jackson township in July, 1830, and, with the exception of a few
years spent in Cass county, he has lived continuously in this county.

   In 1857 Robert S. Lenon was married to Sarah Jane Caldwell, and to them ten
daughters were born, eight of whom survived. They are: Mrs. Monroe Martin, Mrs.
William Yerkes, Mrs. Newton Yerkes, Mrs. Z. L. Truesdale, Mrs. Howard Heiland,
all of Camden; Mrs. Art Shanks, near Deer Creek; and Belle and Margaret, at
home; two brothers, Samuel and Levi, also survived him.

   In all his life nothing but good was spoken of Robert Lenon, and now that he
is dead nothing but good will ever be remembered of him. Funeral services were
held from the Paint Creek church, the services being in charge of Rev. J. R.
Wilson, of Indianapolis, and W. H. Oliphant, of Crawfordsville. Interment was
made in the 'joining cemetery.
