*n Lemars,
He graduated at the University of Vermont, and soon after his
marriage removed to Pike, Wyoming Co., N. Y., where he was for
some time engaged in teaching. In 1844, he removed to Centreville,
Allegany Co., where he taught until 1846, when he was elected
Principal of the Academy at Springville, Erie Co. He remained at
that institution until 1850, when he became so troubled with bron-
chitis that he resigned his position and removed to Pardeeville,
Columbia Co., Wis., where he engaged in farming for a time.
Having in the meantime studied law, he was admitted to the Bar
and opened an office in Portage City, where he was cotemporary
with L. S. Dixon, who afterward became Chief Justice of the State.
His bronchial trouble returned and he again retired to his farm ; but,
during his residence there he held important local offices, and in
1858, was a member of the State Legislature. In 1862, he sold his
farm and removed to Renville Co., Minn., where, in August of that
year, occurred the memorable Sioux massacre.
