Ulysses LEWIS was a man of characteristics peculiarly fitted to impress and
mould frontier society, and no doubt contributed much to the giving of tone to
the civilization of both Columbus and Russell County, Ala., to which county he
removed with the first wave of white settlement.  He was sternly upright and
just, with a courage for any emergency, and a fund of hard common sense that
made him the very man for leadership in such a country.  After his removal to
Alabama, he was for a number of years Judge of the County (now Probate) Court of
Russell, and made one of the best and most satisfactory county officers in the
State.  He died in August, 1856.
