JOSEPH E. LEMONS is the owner and occupant of a fine farm of 160 acres on section 10, Wells Township, where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. The estate is well improved and under excellent cultivation and its owner is carrying on a successful business. Mr. Lemons is a native of Crawford County, Wisconsin, and was born October 3, 1842. He was a son of Jacob and Gertrude (Wells) Lemons, the father a native of North Carolina and the mother of New York.
Jacob Lemons was a solider in the Black Hawk War, and was an express messenger. In a Mackinaw boat he rowed on the Mississippi River from Prairie du Chien to St. Peters at the time of the Bad Ax fight. He was one of the first soldiers in Prairie du Chien, and took a squad of men into the woods on what is now known as the Minnesota River, where they cut timber with which to build Old Fort Crawford, at Prairie du Chien. It is said that when he went to that place a white man would not dare show his face from behind the bluffs. He was the father of a large family, as follows: Rebecca, wife of Oscar Ward; Jacob; Susan, wife of John B. Coyle; Joseph E.; Theodore; Caroline; Walter; Moses, and David. The latter was a soldier in the late Civil War and died of chronic diarrhea.
Joseph E. Lemons, of whom we write, was reared in his native county and state, receiving but a limited education. He improved such advantages as he had, however, in the way of schooling and reading, and gathered quite a fund of general information. In August 1861, he enlisted in the Live Eagle Regiment (8th Wisconsin Infantry), his name being on the muster-roll of Company F.
He participated in the battles on Luka, Frederickstown, Missouri, and others, and many skirmishes of minor importance. In October 1862 he received an honorable discharge, and returned to his Native State. There he was married in September 1863, to Miss. Emma Wells, who bore him three children: Stephen J. is still living, and Jane and Orpha are deceased. Mr. Lemons was married a second time, November 10, 1872, the bride being Miss. Ellen Gilbertson. The result of this union has been five children- Lottie, Etta, Burton, Mabel and Walter.
Mr. Lemons' principal business in life has been farming, though he has been able to turn his hand to other work, as circumstances indicated was best. While in Wisconsin he was for two years under contract to furnish railroad ties to a company. In the spring of 1880 he removed to Brown County, Kansas, where he remained about three years. During the first year he had a contract to furnish water for the St. Joseph & Western Railroad Company from St. Joseph to Grand Island. The next two years he spent in the grocery business at Hiawatha. In the spring of 1883 he came to this county, and settled where he now resides.
Mr. Lemons gives his political adherence to the Republican Party. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity at Frankfort, and also of the A.O.U.W. He has served as School Treasurer of District No. 45 for several years. As an enterprising and progressive citizen, and a man of honor and integrity, Mr. Lemons is esteemed by the community.

JOSEPH E. LEMONS is the owner and occupant of a fine farm of 160 acres on section 10, Wells Township, where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. The estate is well improved and under excellent cultivation and its owner is carrying on a successful business. Mr. Lemons is a native of Crawford County, Wisconsin, and was born October 3, 1842. He was a son of Jacob and Gertrude (Wells) Lemons, the father a native of North Carolina and the mother of New York.
Jacob Lemons was a solider in the Black Hawk War, and was an express messenger. In a Mackinaw boat he rowed on the Mississippi River from Prairie du Chien to St. Peters at the time of the Bad Ax fight. He was one of the first soldiers in Prairie du Chien, and took a squad of men into the woods on what is now known as the Minnesota River, where they cut timber with which to build Old Fort Crawford, at Prairie du Chien. It is said that when he went to that place a white man would not dare show his face from behind the bluffs. He was the father of a large family, as follows: Rebecca, wife of Oscar Ward; Jacob; Susan, wife of John B. Coyle; Joseph E.; Theodore; Caroline; Walter; Moses, and David. The latter was a soldier in the late Civil War and died of chronic diarrhea.
Joseph E. Lemons, of whom we write, was reared in his native county and state, receiving but a limited education. He improved such advantages as he had, however, in the way of schooling and reading, and gathered quite a fund of general information. In August 1861, he enlisted in the Live Eagle Regiment (8th Wisconsin Infantry), his name being on the muster-roll of Company F.
He participated in the battles on Luka, Frederickstown, Missouri, and others, and many skirmishes of minor importance. In October 1862 he received an honorable discharge, and returned to his Native State. There he was married in September 1863, to Miss. Emma Wells, who bore him three children: Stephen J. is still living, and Jane and Orpha are deceased. Mr. Lemons was married a second time, November 10, 1872, the bride being Miss. Ellen Gilbertson. The result of this union has been five children- Lottie, Etta, Burton, Mabel and Walter.
Mr. Lemons' principal business in life has been farming, though he has been able to turn his hand to other work, as circumstances indicated was best. While in Wisconsin he was for two years under contract to furnish railroad ties to a company. In the spring of 1880 he removed to Brown County, Kansas, where he remained about three years. During the first year he had a contract to furnish water for the St. Joseph & Western Railroad Company from St. Joseph to Grand Island. The next two years he spent in the grocery business at Hiawatha. In the spring of 1883 he came to this county, and settled where he now resides.
Mr. Lemons gives his political adherence to the Republican Party. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity at Frankfort, and also of the A.O.U.W. He has served as School Treasurer of District No. 45 for several years. As an enterprising and progressive citizen, and a man of honor and integrity, Mr. Lemons is esteemed by the community.
