A biosketch [25] reports:

David G. Lehman. The Lehman family have been identified with Elkhart County more than fifty years. They have been substantial farmers, business men, loyal and public spirited citizens, and in every way have measured up to the best standards of truth and honor. David G. Lehman is one of the best known citizens of the entire county. He was formerly in the real estate business at Goshen, but his time is now taken up almost entirely by his duties as an auctioneer. He is in demand all over this section of Northern Indiana and during the active seasons of the year there is hardly a day he does not superintend a sale of greater or less magnitude. His offices are at 116 South Main street, Goshen.

A native of Indiana, he was born in Harrison Township of Elkhart County June 17, 1864, being the oldest son of George P. and Lydia (Good) Lehman. His father was born near Massillon in Stark County, Ohio, spent his boyhood and gained his education there, and in 1850 moved to Indiana and established his home on one of the new farms in Elkhart County, where for many years he was actively engaged in agricultural pursuits. He is still living at the age of seventy-nine, and his good wife is also living.

David G. Lehman acquired his education partly in the common schools of the country and partly in the Millersburg school. In 1888, having demonstrated an inclination for business affairs and for those which brought him in contact with men and varied interests, he went on the road as salesman for a Buffalo firm, and for a number of years traveled over the states of Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and to some extent in Pennsylvania.

On leaving the road Mr. Lehman moved to Goshen and established an office in the real estate business, but gradually his services were more and more sought as an auctioneer. He has exceptional ability, amounting almost to genius, as a salesman, and particularly as an auctioneer. Gradually the demand for his services in conducting auction sales became such that he has had to devote to it practically all his time. He now conducts between one hundred forty and one hundred sixty-five auction sales every year.

On October 24, 1889, Mr. Lehman married Miss Julia A. Kauffman of Elkhart County, a daughter of Jonas and Leah (Stutzman) Kauffman. The Kauffman family are also old residents of Elkhart County. Mr. Lehman and wife have children named Inez, Marie, Agnes, Mabel, Douglas K. and Lucille.

In politics Mr. Lehman is a republican. For eight years he did some effective service for his home city as a member of the city council. He has prospered in business and evidences of his prosperity are found in the large and comfortable home at 805 South Main street, besides a good farm in this county.
