Paul Lehmann was born in the Saxony area of Germany; the son of Ernst Wilhelm Ehrgott (Ed) Lehmann and Christiane Carolina Hultch.
Paul Lehmann was baptized in the Lutheran Faith in Germany, and he was confirmed April 18, 1897, at St. Peter's Evangelical Church near West, McLennan County, Texas.
Paul married Mary "Mamie" Blankenstein on Dec. 4, 1906, in St. Paul's Evangelical Church of Gerald; Pastor C. Wolff performed the marriage ceremony, and their witnesses were Karl Itschner, Anna Boettger, Richard Schmaltz, and Mamie Baade.
Paul and Mamie Blankenstein Lehmann were married 55 years.
The McLennan County Deed Records show that Paul & Mamie Lehmann purchased 30-acres from M.M. Skinner on August 21, 1916, and they were given a free and clear title to this property on June 21, 1922.
On Nov. 4, 1931, the 80-acre farm of Paul's deceased parents was partitioned between Paul, his brother, Walter Lehmann; and sister, Pauline Lehmann Brustrom. Each sibling received 26.2-acres. On July 24, 1934, Paul Lehmann purchased the 26.2-acres of the Lehmann farm that belonged to his sister, Pauline Brustrom. Paul Lehmann was a truck farmer--he raised fruit and vegetables that he sold to market at the Lehmann Family Farm was too sandy to raise cotton.
