Jonathan Lewis 

Jonathan Lewis, a well known resident of Ebensburg, died at 
his home in Center ward at 8 o'clock Friday morning, aged 
about 59 years. Mr. Lewis' death was the result of 
paralysis with which he was stricken about three weeks ago 
while at work on a farm near town, where he was doing some 
carpenter work. He was stricken while eating his lunch and 
for a time was in a critical condition.  Later he rallied 
somewhat and was removed to his home, where he had since 
been bedfast.

Jonathan D. Lewis was born May 27, 1847 in North Ebensburg, 
Cambria Township.  He was the son of the late Rev. D. B. 
and Margaret Lewis.

About 24 years ago Mr. Lewis married Mary Jones of Cambria 
Township.  Besides his widow, he is survived by one son, 
Morris Lewis of Johnstown, and one step-son, Alvin Davis of 
Westmont.  There are also two step-daughters:  Mrs. Ernest 
Apel of Homestead and Mrs. Timothy Roberts of Cambria 
Township.  He is also survived by the following brothers 
and sisters: David and William; Mrs. Mary Owen, widow of 
David Owen; Mrs. Mary Hughes, widow of William Hughes, all 
of Cambria Township and Joseph Lewis of Pittsburg.

The funeral took place at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon from 
the late home of the deceased, the services being in charge 
of the Rev. J. T. Jones, pastor of the Congregational 
church, assisted by the Rev. William Bryn Jones, pastor of 
the Calvinistic Methodist Church and the Rev. Jesse Hughes 
of Ohio, who is visiting relatives in Ebensburg.  Interment 
was made in Lloyd's cemetery.
