Ionia Daily Sentinel, 21 Feb 1911

Henry M. Lewis passed to his eternal reward at the Clark Memorial home at Grand
Rapids, where he was taken only a few weeks ago, Tuesday.

Mr. Lewis had been a resident of Ionia since 1888.  For many years he was
prominent as a contractor and builder.  He was superintendent of construction of
the Methodist church and of the State Reformatory.  He did the carpenter work on
the Fred Hall house, now the Hall-Fowler memorial library building, and had the
contract or was in charge of the building of several other of the best private
buildings in the city.  Later he was in the grocery business, which he conducted
for twenty years, retiring eight or nine years ago.  For the past three or four
years he has been unable to do any work.

He was 79 years old.  He was twice married, both wives preceding him across the
dark river.  Two children survive: Ed., a passenger engineer on the Chicago &
Alton, and Carrie, in the asylum at Traverse City.

He was a member of the Methodist church, and active in church during his prime.

The remains of H.M. Lewis were brought to Ionia from Grand Rapids and the
funeral will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Methodist church.  The remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms of Winchell and Stone.
