History of Northeast Indiana
Maurice C. Lemmon has been figuring as one of the leading men in the agricultural 
industry of Steuben County for over thirty years. He has a large farm in Steuben 
Township, his address being at Pleasant Lake. He is a native of that county, and his 
people have lived there for over three quarters of a century. 

Mr. Lemmon was born in Otsego Township November 9, 1862, a son of David Riley 
and Lorana (Tuttle) Lemmon. The grandparents, Maurice and Lucinda Lemmon, came 
to Steuben County in 1842 and acquired the farm which their son David Riley 
afterwards owned. Grandfather Maurice Lemmon died at the age of thirty-two and his 
wife at forty-eight. They had four children, Bert, David Riley, Brace and Clay. The 
mother of these children afterward married David Lemmon, a brother of her first 
husband, and by that union also had four children, Tina, Adhill, Mildred and Burr. 

Maurice C. Lemmon spent his early years on his father's farm and attended the district 
schools and the Pleasant Lake High School. He has given all his time and energies to 
farming since he was twenty-two years of age and after renting for three years he 
bought in 1889 the place where he now lives, comprising 152 acres. Much of the land 
was rough and uncleared, and he has since put it into cultivation and has improved 
the farm with good buildings. Mr. Lemmon is a Republican, but has never sought 
political office. 

In 1884 he married Miss Anna Beecher, daughter of Truman and Statira (Brown) 
Beecher. Her mother died in 1901 and her father is now living at Hamilton. Mr. and 
Mrs. Lemmon have three children: Russell finished his education in the Pleasant Lake 
High School and died in 1906, at the age of twenty years. Bernice, who was educated 
in the Pleasant Lake High School, married Clarence Brooks, of Pleasant Lake, and 
they have two children, Alice Jean and Maurice George. The son Beecher also had a 
high school education, and on July 27, 1917, enlisted in the regular army and served 
until granted an honorable discharge April 25, 1918. At the time of his discharge he 
was a Sergeant in the Quartermaster's Corps.
