Mrs. Lewis was born in 1864 in Lebanon, Ky. She was married 58 years ago to William M. Lewis and they resided in Indiana a number of years before coming to St. Johns Park in 1909 where they owned and operated a farm until 1935. At that time they moved to Bunnell where they made their home with their son.

Mrs. Lewis suffered a fall last September, receiving injuries from which she did not recover.

She is survived by one son, W. C. Lewis of Bunnell, and one daughter, Mrs. Ruth Milford of Jacksonville; one sister, Mrs. Delia Woodruff of Evansville, Indiana. Also surviving are two grandchildren, Judith Lewis of Bunnell and Helen Lewis of Miami.

Funeral services were held at the Espanola Cemetery on Monday afternoon at three o'clock with Rev. R. A. Selby, pastor of the Bunnell Methodist Church, officiating and Rev. W. K. McClure, pastor of the Baptist Church, assisting. Funeral arrangements were in charge of McCabe Funeral Home of St. Augustine.
