HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY OHIO

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

LEHMAN, RICHARD, eldest son of Christian, has acquired a comfortable home, which his strong arm at the anvil has beautified with a new and neat dwelling. He was a member of Company I, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiment,O.V.I., Captain Yontz, attached to the famous Sixth Corps, which saved the day at Cedar Creek, after the rout of the Eighth and Nineteenth Corps, and thus saved, also, the valley of the Shenendoah from again falling back into the hands of the enemy. He served to the end of his enlistment, and was honorably discharged, when he resumed his occupation at the anvil and his place in that family circle, which had prayed for his safe return.
