The Portland Observer, Thursday, February 29, 1912
After being hopelessly ill with dropsy for several months, Mrs. Eunice Lewis 
expired at her home on Kent street at about 5:00 o’clock Wednesday morning.  
Funeral services will be held at the M. E. church Friday afternoon at 2:00 
o’clock, conducted by Rev. W. W. Slee, and the remains will be laid to rest in 
Portland cemetery.

Mrs. Lewis came to Portland township at the age of ten years and had resided 
in this village and vicinity surrounding since that time.  Her acquaintance 
was unusually wide, and her death is deeply mourned by a large circle of 
friends.  Mrs. Lewis’ maiden name was Eunice L. Way.  She was born in Maumee 
City, Ohio August 26, 1835.  Her marriage to Hiram Lewis, of Orange, occurred 
in October 1852.  Two children were born, one son Becket Lewis, of Portland, 
with whom deceased had long made her home, surviving.  The husband died 
several years ago.

Mrs. Lewis was a member of the local Rebekah lodge and Perry N. Moore Circle, 
Ladies of the G.A.R.  For years she was identified with the local Universalist 
church, but when the society disbanded she took no active interest in any 
other faiths.
