Donna Williams provided the following: Manchester Press, Manchester, Iowa Feb.1893 GREELEY D.W. Jones and Wm Hockaday, of Manchester, were here last Sabbath, to attend the funeral of Samuel Lewis. Owing to the snow blockade, J. E. Lewis was not able to attend the funeral of his father, last Sabbath. He resides in Montana. Feb. 21 The entire community has been greatly shocked and horrified by the tragic death of one of our esteemed fellow citizens and neighbor, Mr. S. Lewis of Elk Township, Del. Co., Iowa. Mr. Lewis had been in Kansas City to attend the funeral of his second son, and on his way home stopped off at Centerville, Iowa where he had relatives living. Owing to delayed trains, he did not reach Centerville until three o’clock in the morning of Feb. 10th. He found a hotel, registered, and was shown to a room on the third floor. Less than two hours afterward, the building was in flames, Mr. Lewis perishing in the fire. His charred and blackened remains were identified and most tenderly cared for by his affectionate daughter, Nettie, and brought home to his distracted wife for interment. The funeral took place Feb. 19th at the Christian Church, Greeley, the services being conducted by Rev. J. M. Crocker a personal friend of Mr. L and family. The funeral was conducted with the honors of the Masonic Order. Samuel Lewis was born at Springfield, Illinois Nov. 21, 1833. His father being a farmer, purchased lands in Dubuque Co., whither he removed his family in 1846, and where he permanently relocated. Samuel, his second youngest son, manifested from early boyhood a remarkable spirit of independence and self reliance, resolving to be the maker and builder of his future in this life, and from boyhood sturdily and successfully, gaining a livelihood by his own industry and perseverance, refusing aid even from the dearest friend. In Delaware County he met and afterward married Catherine Alice Overocker, July 27, 1864. To this union were born five children, Irvin A, Allen H., Ella L., John E., and Nettie C., three of whom are left to cheer, by loving sympathy, the widowed mother. In early life, Mr. Lewis was an active member of the M. E. Church, and was ever a cheerful giver and helper of any church of Christ. Later in life he made no public profession, but was ever a sincere believer in the Holy Bible, in God as the father and in Jesus Christ as the savior of men. His hand and heart was ever ready, with aid and sympathy for the poor, the needy, or the afflicted. He was honest and upright in his business transactions. In private life he was cheerful, kind, and generous. His hospitality was ever extended to friend and strangers. He enjoyed an extended acquaintance, and was a successful and influential man. He was a loyal and respected member of I.O.O.F. fraternities, and it was his request that the former should honor his remains with their presence and services, when he should have gone from earthly duties.
