STEPHEN LEE, farmer. P. 0. 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 followi g 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.
