   STEPHEN LEE, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, born July 15, 1839, in Amanda Township,
Hancock Co., Ohio, is a son of Richard M. and Lydia (Wyant) Lee, natives of
Fairfield County, Ohio, and who came to this county in 1828 or 1830, settling in
Amanda Township, where they began pioneer life, enduring many hardships and
privations to secure a home for their children. Richard M. Lee departed this
life in 1854, and his widow followed him in 1882. They were parents of the
following named children: Perry, Caroline (wife of D. Gilbert), John (deceased),
Marion, David, Stephen, Jason and Noah. Most of these children are living in
Amanda Township, this county. Stephen Lee, the subject of this sketch, married,
in 1862, Mary, daughter of Joseph Carver, and by her had six children: Caroline
(deceased), Joseph W., Loren, Laura, Addison and Louie, the five living being
with their parents. As a pioneer child Mr. Lee had but meager chances to acquire
an education himself, and being a reasonable and thoughtful man he is giving his
children an opportunity to profit by the educational advantages which the
present day affords. Mr. Lee is a well-to-do farmer. His father left him 120
acres of land, which he sold. He then purchased of James Hughes 120 acres in the
eastern part of Amanda Township, this county, a well-regulated and well-improved
farm. He is a member of the United Brethren Church.
