Lewis, John H., plumber and dealer in pumps; shop on Second street, just
west of Pembroke. This business has been established in this city since
1870, and employs from two to four persons. Mr. Lewis was born in
Uniontown, Pennsylvania, November 5, 1825; bred to the tin and
coppersmith's trade, at which he spent his time working in his native
state and in Ohio until 1856, when he came to this section of the
northwest, and settled at North Pepin in Wisconsin. Remaining there three
years, he removed to Wabasha in 1859, and , with the exception of two
years spent in the western part of the county, this city has since been
his home, Mr. Lewis was in the service of the United States during the
late war as a private in the 1st Minn. Heavy Art. In 1870, continued
confinement at the tinner's bench having rendered outdoor work a
necessity, he took up his present business, and has now prosecuted it
thirteen years. Mr. Lewis was married September 21, 1848, at Zanesville,
Ohio, to Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. James Gurley, of the North Ohio
conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. Their children are: Lucy,
Arthur, Ida, Marshall, Clara.
