This is an early photograph of Edith Naomi Lehman probably taken earlier than 1914.

After P.D. died, his oldest son, William Jesse, took over the business. Someone in the store, maybe Bill, wrote a receipt to Mrs. T. Jones for fifty-seven cents worth of coffee. That was on May 23, 1937. Close examination of the receipt to the right shows that the bill was paid Arpil 4, 1937 and that Bill initialed the payment. This was the general rule of business according to Robert Lehman, another of P.D.’s sons. He ran accounts for all his customers and after he died, outstanding receipts of this nature were piled up and burned, their debt never being collected. It is unknown if the outstanding debts due to the W.J. Lehman grocery receipts were ever collected after Bill died.
