Mrs. Dora Lehman, resident of Postville for the past five years, died at Community Memorial Hospital on August 1 at the age of 88 years. Born on January 20, 1878, the daughter of James Mathews and Libbie Mulholland Mathews, she lived in and around Farmersburg until 1909 when she moved to Elgin. On October 2, 1911 she was united in marriage to Leslie G. Lehman of Elgin and to this union was born one daughter, Lois.

Also surviving are a half sister, Mrs. Gladys Reardon, and a half brother, Leigh Mathews, both of Farmersburg. Preceding her in death were her husband, L. G.
