T. J. Lehr was born May 9, 1831, in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania. His parents were both natives of the Keystone state. When Tilghman was three years of age they removed to Wooster, Ohio, where the older Lehr died in 1865, and the mother in 1891. T. J. Lehr removed in 1851 to Fort Wayne, Ind., where he took up the trade of a brick maker, which he followed all his life, or until his retirement from active business life a few years since. During his stay at Fort Wayne he made the brick for the Northern Indiana Prison, at Michigan City, furnishing 12,000,000 brick to the State. There he became acquainted with Richard Epperson, the contractor, who induced him to come to Crawfordsville, which he did, in 1868. For one year he acted as superintendent for Volney Q. Irwin, then formed a partnership which continued for several years. After the dissolution of the partnership Sir. Lehr conducted the business alone.
He was married in 1866 at Fort Wayne to Miss Annabel Britcher, a native of Canton, Ohio, who survives him. They had no children, but adopted a daughter, in the person of Hatty Beatty, now Mrs. Perry Hill. In poltics Mr. Lehr was an uncompromising Democrat of the Jefferson type, He never mingled in political squabbles but everyone knew where to find him. He was a Master Mason, and a Royal Arch Mason, and stood high as a citizen and member of three orders. The funeral took place from the family home in Englewood, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Services conducted by Rev. Wallace Tharp. The Masonic Order had charge of the funeral. Interment at Oak Hill.

The Finding of Little Gerald iner Who Was Stolen From Chicago.
Lupi
INSANE COUPLE HID HIM.
They Kept the Child in Their Hovel Just Outside the Town of Painesville, Ohio.
The Long: Arid IWsheartenlng Search Made By the Parents—Discovery Doe to Pub* llctty Given the Case In the Newspapers —Numbers of Lout Children Found in the
Course of the Search for Gerald.
Little Gerald Lapiner, who was kidreplied May 30, 1898, from the sidewalk in front of his parent's tesidence in Chicago, was found in Painesville, O., in the possession of an old insane couple. This kidnapping and search Is .second only to the Charley Ross mystery. Publicity brought about the recovery of the child. Inuumerable clews were run down. The weary mother and discouraged father traveled all over tli? country, and spent ^5.000 in their search.
Gerald Lapiner, three years old, was playing in front of'the Lapiner house in Prairie avenue on May HO, when a woman was seen to pass the child She leaned over and said something to him. She seized the little fellow by one hand and again whispered something to him. The child went with her gladly.
The entire police force began a search for the missing boy. Tl^Rather lirst believed the cJiild was stolen for ransom, but as no word came the idea was given up.
Several children of the neighborhood saw tiie woman taking the child away and gave the police a good description of her.
The woman was traced to Forty-sev-enth street and Grand Boulevard, where, it is believed, she entered a carriage. An hour later a carriage containing a woman and a child answering their description stopped at Adams street and Wabash avenue, and the occupants boarded a Lake street elevated train.
At Fifty-second avenue they hurried out of 11'' car to a buggy that had been wr.:-J:ig in the vicinity charge of a young man, and they disappeared In the direction -f the suburban town of Austin.
Here all tangible clews disappeared. The ehik' was heard to call for "papa" in the 'I." train, and was repeaU-dly quieted by promises of candy It was believed by the police that ita*. woman was hired to kidnap the child for before she led him away from his home she asked three persons who he was.
Mr. Lapiner was an insurance ad .luster, and all the big companies with which he was connected helped in the search for the stolen boy.
Several letters were received by Mr. Lapiner from different towns, offering to return his son if certain specified sums of money were left at designated places. These letters were written by swindlers who did not know anything about the whereabouts of the missing child, their scheme being to got possession of the ransom and give no return for it.
Lost children in numbers were discovered and returned to other parents in the course of the search for little Gerald, but the boy especially sought after remained unfound.
Finally the police received a letter from Miss O. C. Ferris, of Painesville. (., who wrote that she had read in the papers the story of the kidnapping of the little boy. and was certain that he was in Painesville in possession of a mysterious old couple who appeared insane.
Mrs. Lapiner went to Painesville and identified her offspring. He was in squalor and tilth in a hut .just outside the town. He recognized his mother .ind ran to her crying, "Mamma, mamma
Mrs. Lapiner burst into tears, and seizing the bov cried. ".Terry, it is you this time, isn't it darling?"' "M.v boy. my boy," cried she, then fell upon her knees and with tears streaming down her face thanked God for the pleasure of again clasping her hoy in her arms.
Mrs. Anna M. Ingersoll, the mistress ol' the hut, meantime was standing in a corner of the room apparently a disinterested spectator of the scene and with a scornful smile on her thin lips.
Mrs. Lapiner happened to glance up ind saw her look of disdain. In a moment the tenderness which she had exhibited a momefll before was turned to fury, and she made an effort to grasp Mrs. Ingersoll by the throat, ind but for the interference? of the leputy sheriff would in all probability Have accomplished her design. "Let me tear her to pieces." she said. "Think of the pain and agony she has •aused me in the past nine months."
The condition of the Ingersoll house in which the child was found almost iieggars description. It was a mass of 1:1th from cellar to garret. The ehild tself presented a picturesque sight. It was so untidy that Mrs. Lapiner, In talking of the matter, said the dirt r-ame off the little chap in scales. Anna M. Ingersoll and John Colljus (the man) were placed under arrest. Collins represented that Gerald /pas !iis son.
Miss Ferris had read of the k:dnapI ping, and she did not believe old ColI ins was the father of so bright a child. She tried to see and talk with the boy, but Collins was as watchful as a hawk. When Mrs. Lapiner and the sheriff arrived the couple attempted to hide the boy and lock the door.
The sheriff forced his way in. The couple asserted that they found the child wandering tflone.
Thought They May Eat the Pleo. "Why do you put cloves In apple pies, mamma?" asked the inquisitive little boy at dinner table.
