Christian F. Lee, late of Elk Lick township, was a son of Thomas Lee, who was born December 15, 1816, in Milford township, and was a farmer, being also engaged in business as a manufacturer of spinning wheels. He married Elizabeth, born November 15, 1816, daughter of Daniel Brenneman, of Germany, who married Maria Bender, February 20, 1803, in Germany, and who came to this country in 1828. The children of Thomas and Elizabeth Lee were: John, Daniel, Joel, Mary, Samuel, and Christian F., see forward.
Christian F. Lee, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Brenneman) Lee, was born July 24, 1858, in Addison township, where he attended the public schools until the age of eleven, when the family moved to Elk Lick township, and his education was completed in the schools of that township. At the age of nineteen he left school and thereafter assisted his father on the farm and also worked for neighboring farmers until 1883.
