the son of George S. and Theresa (Mount) Lee, the latter a daughter of
William Mount, of Batavia.  George S. Lee was born July 4, 1806, in West
Bloomfield, N. Y., but moved to Ohio when a young man, and began the
practice of law; was elected probate judge when that office was created,
consequently was Clermont County's first probate judge.  He was the father
of eight children of whom five are now living.  He died April 25, 1856, at
Batavia, Ohio, where his widow still lives.  William Lee, grandfather of

Robert E. Lee, and a schoolmate of Rev. Lyman Beecher. He died in 1841,
leaving a widow, who died at the advanced age of ninty-nine [sic] years.
William Mount, the maternal grandfather of our subject, born in Armstrong
County, Penn., was a tanner by trade.  He died November 23, 1843; was one
of Batavia's earliest settlers, and held the office of justice of the
peace eighteen years.  George S. Lee, Jr., was reared and educated in
Batavia, Ohio, went to Owenton, Ky., in 1873, and associated himself with
his brother, E. E. Lee, as assistant editor of the Owen News, a Democratic
paper at Owenton, and in 1880, he, together with Emmett Orr, bought the
newspaper.  Mr. Lee married in 1877 to Miss Felicia Orr, daughter of J. J.
Orr, of Owenton, and has a family of three children: Orr S., Jake M. and
Bertha Mae.  Mr. Lee is the present postmaster at Owenton, having been
