JACOB H. LEMMON, representative of one of the pioneer families of the county,
was born February 8, 1840, son of John and Elizabeth (Cimmerl) Lemmon.  The
father, a native of Kentucky, came to Dubois County, Ind., with his father 
in 1802, and located on a tract of land near where Portersville now stands.
John was raised amid the wilderness, undergoing all the hardships of pioneer
life.  After marriage he followed farming, sending his products by boats
down the White, Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans.  His 
death, which occurred in 1872, was a severe loss to his many friends.  He
was a Republican and a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.  Our
subject received a very limited education and passed his boyhood on the farm.
July 6, 1861, he enlisted in Company E, Twenty-fourth Indiana Volunteer
Infantry.  He remained in the field until January, 1865, then returned home
and in November 1866, he married Martha Jane McMahan, who has borne him two
children:  McMahan and Louise.  He is a stanch Republican in politics, and
a member of the G.A.R.  He and wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church.  After marriage, Mr. Lemmon lived on the old homestead until 1872, 
and then purchased the McMahan farm near Duff Station, where he resided until
1883, when he removed to Huntingburg where he has since resided.  He still
controls his farms and is engaged in stock raising.
