RID=9895D855F3FEA653F0829E1506B0F664 1890s BIOGRAPHY OF SAM JOHNSON ABOUT THE LEWIS FAMILY ". . . Miss Margaret A. Lewis, a native of Boise, Idaho, and a daughter of Leonard C. and Mary J. (Woods) Lewis. Her father was born in New Orleans, while her mother was born in Putnam county, Indiana. In early life she started with her two brothers for California during the gold excitement there. Mr. Lewis had also started for the Pacific coast and they met on the train during this trip. Later both made their way to Camas Prairie in Alturas county, Idaho, where they were married, changing their plans about going to California. They were the first couple married in Alturas county and from that district they removed to the Boise river and located on a farm on Lime creek, near the city of Boise. There they resided for a few years and afterward removed to Malad, where the father operated a stage station for a period of seven years. He then engaged in stock raising at the Magic Dam and after a brief period removed to Salmon creek, where he gave his attention to ranching and cattle raising for about six years, residing there at the time of the Indian war. There he also operated the Lewis ferry. Later three ferries on the Snake river consolidated and were known as the Lewis ferry. By that means all the big freighting outfits were conveyed across the river on the ferries owned by Mr. Lewis. Later the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Lewis conducted his own ferry independently. He also had a ranch of one hundred and sixty acres, which he devoted to general farming and stock raising, and upon that place he remained until the time of his death, which occurred in February, 1896, when he had reached the age of sixty-one years. His wife died in August, 1905, at the age of sixty-nine years. . . ." (Hawley, History of Idaho, Vol. 4, p. 563) Citation Source: Hawley, James Henry.
