John D. Lenon
John D. Lenon, the leader of the democratic party of this county, and one of the most popular men, irrespective of politics, in Guthrie county, was born in Carroll county, Iowa, January 18, 1834. His father, James R., was a native of Ohio, and sprang from an old family of that state. The mother of our subject, Elizabeth (Duncan) Lenon, was born in South Carolina. John was the eldest of a family of five children, and was reared in his native county and there educated. When nineteen years of age, he engaged at the carpenter's trade, which he followed there until 1861. He then came to Panora, and, with his brother, engaged in the drug business, which they ran until 1865. In 1863 he, with others, operated the woolen mills, with which he remained identified through most of its history, and now runs the same as a flouring mill. In 1865 he became a member of the firm of Cline & Lenon, in the dry-goods business, in which he remained until 1868. In 1872 he, with J. W.

JOHN D. LENON
A fitting reward of a well-spent and active life is a period of rest through opportunity to enjoy the fruits of former toil, and this is vouchsafed to John D. Lenon, who is now living retired at Panora. As merchant and miller and representative of other business interests he has done much to promote the material prosperity and upbuilding of this section of the state and especially has Panora benefited by his labors,which at the same time have brought him a splendid financial return, so that he is now numbered among the men of affluence in Guthrie county. Moreover, he has maintained his residence here from an early day, having lived within the borders of the county for forty-six years.
His birth occurred in Carroll county, Indiana, January 8, 1834, his parents being James R. and Elizabeth (Duncan) Lenon, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Tennessee. The father was a farmer by occupation and died in 1849, when his son John was but fifteen-years of age, having for some time, however, survived his wife, who died in 1842, at the age of twenty-five years. After losing his first wife James R. Lenon was married to Margaret Mabbitt, who, after losing her first husband, became the wife of George Whisler and with him removed to Guthrie county, where she died several years ago.
John D. Lenon was one of five children, but he and his brother, Peter H., the latter a resident of Guthrie Center, are the only ones who now survive. The common schools afforded John D. Lenon his education privileges during the period of his boyhood and youth, and when still comparatively young he learned the carpenter's trade. He remained a resident of Indiana until 1861, when he arrived in Guthrie county, Iowa, and engaged in the drug business with his brother, the firm maintaining an existence until 1865. In 1863, in connection with James and John Cline, he built and operated a woolen mill and later purchased the interests of his partners. The business was carried on along the original plan until 1877, when the mill was converted into a grist mill, which Mr. Lenon operated until 1903, when he leased it to his son. He was also a partner in a drug store in 1872. His business enterprises have been important and of a varied character, but in all that he has undertaken he has won success, possessing that strong spirit of determination and energy which enabled him to overcome all the difficulties and obstacles in his path and to work his way steadily upward. At different times he has had valuable real and personal interests in the county, but has now disposed of all his property here except his mill and his residence, having largely invested his money in Arkansas realty.
On the 13th of September, 1855, when a young man of twenty-one years, Mr. Lenon was married to Miss Margaret M. Long, who was born in Clinton county, Indiana, on the 20th of April, 1837, her parents being David and Anna Long, who were farming people, locating in Indiana in pioneer days, and there spending the remainder of their lives. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Lenon have been born ten children, as follows: James B., who married Miss Anna Furguson, and is now operating a grist mill at Panora, Iowa; Viola, the deceased wife of M. N. Lenon, who was a distant relative, and who made her home in Indiana; Luella, the wife of Robert King, of Panora; Henry, who died at the age of sixteen years; Warren, who graduated from the county high school, wedded Miss Clara Mercer, a sister of H. H. Mercer, clerk of Guthrie county, and who is now president of a bank in Little Rock, Arkansas, and is also mayor of that city, now serving his third term; Florence M., who died in 1895; Brenton, who passed away at the age of three years; one who died in infancy; J. F., who graduated from the Guthrie county high school, married Miss Cora Hale, and is now cashier, director and secretary of a banking house in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Olive, the deceased wife of Hoyt W. Chase, a resident of Yale, Guthrie county.
Mr. Lenon has been an Odd Fellow since 1866 and has exemplified in his life the spirit of brotherly kindness and mutual helpfulness which underlies this organization. He joined the Masons in 1856 and has taken the Royal Arch degree. His political views endorse the democracy and for many years he was a recognized leader of his party in Guthrie county, his opinions carrying weight in its local councils. In 1866 he was elected treasurer of the Panora school district and held that office for sixteen consecutive years. In 1881 he was elected and served for one term as county treasurer, and in 1889 was again chosen for the office, proving a faithful defender of the public exchequer. He served for several terms on the city council and for two terms as mayor, giving an administration characterized by a prompt and businesslike dispatch of his duties and by a marked devotion to the general good. He has been a member of the Presbyterian church for eight years and is now one of its elders, while his wife has been a member of the same church for forty years. In the varied relations of an active life he has ever commanded the good will and confidence of his fellowmen, who acknowledge his worth as a citizen and in business circles. The most envious cannot grudge him his success, so honorably has it been won and so worthily used. He has passed the Psalmist's span of three-score years and ten and now at the age of seventy-three years is enjoying a well-earned retirement from labor.
