GILEAD P. LEE, a native Hoosier, was born in Orange County, Indiana,
December 18, 1828, one of a family of eight children born to Spencer and
Elizabeth (Teagarden) Lee, who settled in Orange County from the South
(Kentucky) at an early day.  Being among the first families to settle in
that locality, Gilead P. only secured such education as the old backswoods
cabin schoolhouses afforded.  Farming has been his principal occupation
through life, and with the exception of one year while a resident of
Moultrie County, Illinois, he has always resided in Indiana.  He became a
resident of Lawrence County in November, 1864, and of Bedford in 1870, the
first four years after moving to town being engaged in the agricultural
implement business.  He owns 200 acres of valuable land in Illinois, 80
acres in Lawrence County and valuable property in Bedford.  His marriage
with Eliza J. Finley was solemnized September 16, 1851, and to their union
seven chldren have been born, these three named being the only survivors: 
Sarah M. (Mrs. Fish), Merrill S. and Carrie B. (Mrs. Giles).  Both parents
are members of the Christian Church.  Mr. Lee belongs to the Subordinate
Lodge of Odd Fellows, was first a Democrat in politics, but in 1861 became
a Republican and in 1874 changed to the National party, with which he yet
affiliates.
