 Includes NotesNotes for John George Lehner:
Family legend says that he may have been a priest. The legend goes that when he died a trunk was found that contained priest vestments. He had a $1000 life insurance policy and willed that to his 4 children. He gave his wife all his posessions except his library. Guardianship was given to his brother Jacob (not to his wife) who refused to care for and be their guardian. This leads to speculation that he was at one time a priest and his brother Jacob refused to care for the children because of this. The legal document can be found in the Woodland Hotel Abstract.
