The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 6, 1918
Old Grady County Citizen Receives Last Call

H. Prior Lewis, an old citizen of our county, 79 years of age, died a victim of 
Influenza and pneumonia at his home, about six miles south of Cairo last Monday 
night.

He was sick only one week, at the time he was taken ill, he had just returned 
from a visit to his daughter in Meigs.  The family thought he contracted the 
disease during his visit.

He was a very devout man, having been a member of the Popular Springs Baptist 
Church for a number of years, he always lived his conscience.

He has been a resident of Grady county since boyhood and has set a noble 
example for our younger generation to follow.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Hollingsworth at the Lewis cemetery 
at Popular Springs Church Tuesday afternoon.

To survive him, he leaves four sons, Messrs. Wm. Lewis, I. D. Lewis, J. H. P. 
Lewis of Grady county, R. G. Lewis of Thomasville and three daughters: Mesdames 
J. A. Atkinson of Tallahassee, Fla., Tom Davis of Meigs, W. F. Key of Miami, 
Fla. besides a large number of grandchildren and other near relatives.
