At about the age of 6 years, she with her parents, moved to Parke County, Indiana, settling in the vicinity of Sand Creek, where she grew to womanhood, and where, on Sept 19, 1851, she was united in marriage to Aaron Lewis. She and her husband continued to live in this vicinity until his death, and for many years afterward, she made her home in this part of the county. She became the mother of 8 children. Six of whom still survive her -- five sons (George Perry, William T., James Bruce, Aaron & Frank) and one daughter (Nancy Nutgrass) -- all married and have homes of their own. About 18 years ago, she and her sons, removed to Mecca, Indiana, where she has since lived and for a number of years made her home with her youngest son, Frank. Mrs. Lewis was a woman who cultivated many acquaintances and neighbors, and was always ready to help all whom she found in a time of need. At the age of 16 years, she had united with the ME Church and later after her marriage to Mr. Lewis, she with him, became a member of the Christian Church and was a member of the Mecca Church when she died. For the past 5 years she had been an invalid for much of the time suffering with rheumatism. She was taken ill while visiting at the home of her son, Aaron, and grew worse rapidly and where after three days of intense suffering she passed quietly to the unseen on the evening of May 28, 1908, at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 28 days. Besides her own children she leaves a brother and four sisters, 19 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Besides a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn her loss. It may be well said of Mrs. Lewis, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works will follow with them." Her funeral took place in the home of her son, and is buried in Sand Creek cemetery. Name in Rowe Cemetery Index.
