J. R. LEHMAN DIED AT MT. UNION MONDAY

  John Roth Lehman, one of Mount Union's best known citizens, died at 
his home Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, death being attributed to a 
complication of ailments.  He had been in failing health for about one 
year.  
  Mr. Lehman was born at Warriors Mark on July 11, 1856, a son of 
Samuel and Mary Ann (Hutchison) Lehman, and he resided there for some 
years, being engaged in farming.  He afterwards became a pure food 
inspector for the state of Pennsylvania and was also identified with 
the bureau of statistics for a time.  He later moved to Mount Union, 
where he became affiliated with the refractory companies.  
  He was educated at Birmingham, and after going to Mount Union, served 
as street commissioner for a  period of five years, retiring two years 
ago.  He was twice married, his first union being with Elizabeth 
Harkness in March, 1881, at McAlevy's Fort.  To this union three 
children were born, Mrs. Charles L. Cox, of Claysburg, formerly of 
Tyrone; Mrs. Charles Boggs of Mount Union and William H. Lehman, of 
Altoona.  
  Following the death of his wife, he was united in marriage with Miss 
Carrie Stratford, of Mount Union, on March 11, 1903.  To this union 
three children were born, Mrs. Fred M. Miller, Mrs. James A. Health and 
John R. Lehman, Jr., all of Mount Union.  Also surviving are his second 
wife, and one brother, Frank Lehman  of Sacramento, California, now 
visiting in Tyrone.  
  He was a member of the Warrior's Mark Methodist church.  Funeral 
services will be conducted at the home, Thursday evening at 7 o'clock 
and on Friday morning the body will be taken to Warriors Mark, where 
further services will be conducted in the church in charge of Rev. 
Frederick C. Fowler, Jr., pastor of the Mount Union Presbyterian 
church, at 10 o'clock.  Interment will be made in the Warriors Mark 
cemetery.
