LEHMANN, physician, Piqua; was born in Switzerland in 1825, where he grew to manhood; his early education was obtained in the common schools of his native country; in 1843, he took up the study of medicine at the Medical University of Berne, where he remained until the fall of 1849, at which time he graduated from the same; soon after, he commenced the practice of his profession, and was also, for a time, engaged as military surgeon; in the spring of 1852, he embarked for the United States, landing in New York City, where he resided but a short time; he made various changes until 1856, at which time he settled in the wilds of Miami; not seeing fit to make this his permanent location he returned East as far as Vera Cruz, Ind., where he remained until 1865, at which time he located in Piqua; here he has since been favorably known as a physician.
