Cohee was a
Republican until the National party was organized, when he became identified
with that
party. Mr. Cohee's ancestors were from the state of Delaware; came from
that state to
Ohio, and from Ohio to Indiana. He has always been a farmer, and owns a
fine farm
in Washington Township, four miles northwest of Lebanon.
