    SOUTH MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP AND BOROUGH OF MOUNT HOLLY SPRINGS.

555  SOUTH MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP.

  D. P. LEHMAN, farmer and stock-grower, P. O. Boiling Springs, was 
born near the village of Newville, Cumberland Co., Penn., June 26, 
1839, son of Jacob and Catharine (Givler) Lehman, natives of this 
county and of German origin.  Jacob Lehman died in 1870.  Our subject 
is the eldest of five children who grew to manhood and womanhood.  He 
was reared on the farm and received a common school education in his 
native county.  Wisely choosing farming as an occupation, he has met 
with more than the average success, and is now owner of 140 acres of 
land, with first-class improvements and well stocked.  Mr. Lehman has 
been twice married; on first occasion, in 1863, to Elizabeth Burn, who 
died in 1872, and by this union has the following children:  Dora (wife 
of John S. Keenport), Jacob, Ida, Clara and Minnie.  In 1874 Mr. Lehman 
married his second wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, daughter of Philip Maul, 
and of German origin, and by her he has two children:  David and 
Charley.  Mr. and Mrs. Lehman are members of the Lutheran Church, in 
which he has served as deacon and Sabbath-school superintendent.  
Politically our subject is a Democrat; he has served as school director 
and assessor of his township.
