GRIEF STRICKEN MAN DIES

H. F. Lewis Passes Away at Danville, Iowa, Just One Hour After Arriving With 
Remains of Beloved Wife

H. F. Lewis, a well known resident of Payette who left here on No. 6 on 
Thursday evening, December 26th with the remains of his wife taking them to 
Danville, Iowa, for burial, passed away just one hour after arriving with his 
wife’s remains at the destination. Mr. Lewis had long been a sufferer from 
asthma and was not in the best of health when he started east with his wife’s 
remains but insisted on accompanying them. As long as his brother-in-law, 
Douglas Kelley, of Danville, Iowa, was to meet him in Omaha it was decided to 
accede to his wish to return. Just one hour after arriving in Danville the 
aged man sorrowing over the death of his life companion and suffering from 
other complications passed away.

Horatio Franklin Lewis was born November 18, 1850 and died December 29, 1912, 
being 62 years old at the time of his death. On November 27, 1872, he was 
united in marriage to Cornelia Jane Kelley and two children a son and a 
daughter blessed this union. The son, Roy Walker Lewis died December 18, 1900 
and the daughter Mrs. H. C. Jensen of this city remains to mourn the loss of a 
loving father coming soon after the death of her mother a few days ago. The 
deceased also has a sister, Miss Ella Lewis, a resident of this city and a 
brother C. G. Lewis living at Lents, Oregon and a brother, N. A. Lewis, living 
in Boise and another brother living at Danville, Iowa.

Mr. Lewis was a quiet kindly man who won the friendship and love of all with 
whom he came in contact and many friends in Payette will mourn his passing. 
The relatives living in Payette have the sympathy of a large number of people 
in their double misfortune coming as it does when the majority of hearts are 
filled with the joy of the holiday season.

The funeral occurred on Tuesday and his remains were laid beside those of his 
beloved wife in the cemetery at Danville, Iowa.
