The 1900 census for Crocker Township, Polk, Iowa shows Lewis (age 27) was living with the Henry S. Heinlen family. His occupation was Laborer. On 27 October 1908 Lewis (age 34) married Martha Ellen Chance (age 22) in Quincy, Adams, Iowa. Martha’s parents are Enoch Chance and Laura Homan. The couple gave birth to their daughter Emeline Mary Kimes on 5 September 1909 in Fontanelle, Adair, Iowa. The 1910 census shows Lewis (age 36), Ellen (age 24) and daughter Emeline were living in Summerset, Adair, Iowa. Lewis’ occupation was Day Laborer. On 12 January 1912 they gave birth to their daughter Isabelle Juanita Kimes in Adams, Iowa. Emeline Mary died at the age of 5 on April 14, 1915 in Prescott, Iowa. She was buried on April 16th. The 1920 census shows Lewis (age 46), Ellen (age 34) and Isabelle (age 8) living in Prescott, Adams, Iowa. Lewis’ occupation was General Laborer. The marriage of Lewis and Ellen ended in divorce. Source: FamilySearch. In 1880 at the age of 5, Lewis was living in Washington, Adair, Iowa with his parents Joseph and Emaline and sister Eva. Joseph died 21 January 1883. Emaline is not mentioned in Joseph’s estate so it is believed she died after the 1880 census and before Joseph’s death in 1883. At the time the Administrator of Joseph’s estate filed the petition, Lewis was about 8 years old. Lewis and his sister Eva are listed as minor heirs. It is unknown where Lewis lived after the death of his parents until the 1900 census.
