JAMES A. LEFEVRE, bank cashier, Littlestown, is a son of Enoch LeFevre.  At the 
age of sixteen he became a student at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster 
City, and after five years’ study graduated from that institution.  Subsequently 
he kept a hardware store at Littlestown for upward of three years, and at the 
organization of the Littlestown Savings institution was elected its cashier, a 
position he has held ever since.  Mr. LeFevre was married in 1866 to Alice
