LEWIS, FEMALE
(26 Apr 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
County Commissioner, J. F. Lewis and Mrs. Lewis returned last Thursday
evening from Driggs, Arkansas, where they went in answer to a message that
Mr. Lewis' mother was very low and could not live.  Mrs. Lewis passed away
Saturday, April 14th, at the age of 79 years.
She had been an invalid for the past four years, being confined to her bed
the greater part of the time with the dread malady tuberculosis.  Mrs.
Lewis was the mother of seven children, three of whom preceded her to the
great beyond.  The four surviving children, two girls and two boys, of
which our Jim is the eldest, were at her bedside when the end came.  Her
husband survives her and as soon as he arranges his affairs will come to
Elk City to make his home with his eldest son.
Mrs. Lewis was splendid Christian woman, having united with the Methodist
church when a child and thruout her long life lived according to the
teachings of Christ.
The funeral was held at Paint Rock cemetery, where interment was made,
Rev. Patty, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating.
She and her husband had lived together 56 years and their youngest child
is 34 years old.
