Excerpt from History of the Lemen Family, of Illinois, Virginia and Elsewhere: With Gallery of Portraits, Biographical Sketches and Genealogical Tables; In Two Parts In placing this work before the family we are conscious of the fact that it is not allotted any man to attain perfection. It is not our purpose to set forth all the works of all the family, but only those that will be most instructive and elevating to the present and coming generations. In condensing the history Of a large family, covering a period of two and a half centuries, it becomes necessary to select only the chief incidents, leaving out much that would be of interest, hence criticisms will arise; let us ask that they may be made in the spirit of charity. The facts herein given are the result Of much research and are as extensive as the scope and purpose Of a single volume will permit.
