James Lester - Israel Lientz
This is not my family but I found the following extract in an old newspaper and thought it might be of interest to someone. Also added info from 1880 census on familysearch.org that may be the same families.
Vevay Reveille, Vevay, Switzerland Co., Indiana
Week of Sep 24, 1889
“Israel Lientz and family and James Lester and family, all residing near Center Square,[Indiana]will leave Monday for Logan Point, Illinois where they expect to locate.”
