The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 13, 1918
In Memory of Mr. Prior Lewis.

Mr. Prior Lewis departed this the second of December.

He was seventy-nine years, five months and twenty three days old when he left 
us.  He was a faithful companion and father.  He had all his long career been a 
good provider for his family.

After serving in the war in the 60's, he was very successful in farming with 
the aid of his faithful companion they gave each of their eight children a good 
home, respectively, W. C. and J. H., P., R. G., R. T. and J. D. are the sons, 
Mrs. S. P. Key, Mrs. E. F. Atkinson and Mrs. Josie M. Davis are the daughters 
surviving him.

He had been industrious all his long life.  He had never joined the church, but 
he was a believer in the Primitive Baptist faith.  He never felt worth to 
belong to a church.

The writer of this little sketch thinks one who feels their unfitness is the 
very best evidence of one's fitness, but he never could persuade the deceased 
sufficiently to get him to join, notwithstanding him to believe the Doctrine of 
Salvation by Grace,

A Friend.
