Biographical Note
Harry Crawford Lemen, the son of Emerson and Mary Lemen, was born near Canaan, Indiana, in Jefferson County. Originally a lawyer, he also had a real estate business and was an amateur photographer. Lemen documented the town of Madison and places around Jefferson County during the early years of the 20th century. He also collected early photographs by other photographers from the early days of Madison and reproduced them as postcards and framed pictures. After Lemen died his son Hiram Lemen continued to take photographs and sell his father's photographs. The Jefferson County Public Library purchased Mr. Lemen's collection after his death.
