  Anecdote	William H. Lasher was born July 9, 1842, on Brush Ridge, in Middletown, Delaware County, N.Y. William received a plain education at Townsend Hollow and Griffin's Corners. At the latter place he engaged in the grocery business with Allen Lasher, when he was twenty-one years of age. Later in life he went into lumber dealing, buying a large amount of real estate. In 1874 he sold all of his land with the exception of seventy acres which he retained for a home. A comfortable house, barn, and dairy are among the improvements. He has been engaged in the insurance business to some extent. In 1863 Mr. Lasher was united in wedlock to Jeannette Crawford, a native of Cayuga, and one of a family of four children. She was born February 11, 1841, and had two brothers-William H., born January 1, 1829; and Robert, born March 20, 1931-and one sister, Isabella, born August 17, 1833. To William H. and Jeannette [Crawford] Lasher were born three children. Eugene E., born June 29, 1869, married Ada Rowley. Willie E., born April 9, 1870, married Ella Crispell. Lulla May, born March9, 1871, lives at home. Mrs. Lasher died in November, 1889. She was a conscientious member of the Presbyterian church. William H.
