s/o Henry Lemasters / Susan Copeland
The breaking out of the Civil War found John Lemasters busily engaged on his father Henry's farm, but he did not enlist until 1864, when he became a Solider in CO E 132nd IN Infantry. He saw little of actual warfare, however, for he was mustered out at the end of 4 months, and returned to the occupation for which he had a natural liking. Settling on a farm of his own in Shelby County, IN he continued to farm and raise stock successfully.
In the fall of 1890 he arrived in CA and purchased 2 acres of land in Rosedale, Kern County and soon afterward became identified with the Kern County Land Company, as a fence-building contractor. After 4 years with the company he moved to Bakersfield and lived there for 2 years, coming then to Kern County, where he speculated in mines until his appointment to the Postmastership in Mar 1898. Since then he has conscientiously and satisfactorily discharged the affairs of the office at this point, and has taken his place as a progressive and liberal-minded citzen. He has voted the Republican ticket since attaining his majority. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. His son Roy is a clerk in the post office, and his daughter Mary is the wife of John F. Parish of Ogden, UT.
