LEWIS was born October 17, 1839, at Collins Centre, Erie county. New York; he died at Sioux City, Iowa, September 26, 1901. He came with his parents to Independence, Iowa, where they settled in 1851. The greater portion of his boyhood was spent upon his father's farm and in a furniture factory. At the age of 19 he entered Cornell College, at Mt. Vernon, where he remained until 1862, wheu he enlisted as a private in Co. H, 27th Iowa Infantry. At the end of his first year he was promoted to Sergeant-Major of his regiment. At the expiration of another year he became First Lieutenant, and was later commissioned as Adjutant of the regiment, in which rank he was mustered out of the service at the close of the war. Upon his return from the army he engaged in merchandizing in Buchanan county, but finally entered the law department of the State University from which he graduated in 1869. He practiced his profession for a short time in Cherokee, Iowa, but in 1870 was nominated for District Attorney of the 4th Judicial District, which then comprised twenty-two counties in the northwestern part of the State. In this capacity he served from 1871 to 187.5. At the election in 1874 he was nominated and elected District Judge, his term commencing January 1, 187.5. At the end of his first term he was re-elected and chosen again four years later. He thus served twelve years on the bench. At the expiration of his last term of office he resumed the practice of the law in Sioux City, where he resided up to the time of his death. He was a leader in his profession, and well known throughout northwestern Iowa. In a published interview, Craig L. Wright spoke as follows of the deceased jurist: "Personally he was the most lovable of men to those whom he knew well. His character was one of the purest, and mere contact with him left a marked impress. I have always had the highest regard for him as a lawyer and a judge. Before the bar he was stronger in consultation than as an advocate and was one of the most learned men who ever practiced in this State!" "Charles H. Lewis." The Annals of Iowa 6 (1904), 560-560.
