IN MEMORY

One year ago after a long and serious illness, death came to our home and claimed one of the best of fathers, Marion Lewis, who died in his home April 14, 1926.

Although a year has passed, the memory of this dear one is fresh to us as if it had been only yesterday and we feel that he was too noble a citizen, too devoted a father, too true a husband, not to have a fitting obituary.

Our father, the subject of this writing, was born Sept. 17, 1858 in Iron County, No., of which he was a resident all his life, and died at the age of 67 years, 6 months and 28 days, being the eldest of 10 children of the late Uncle Billy and Aunt Abby Lewis.

He was united in marriage to Malinda J. Jackson March 13, 1881 and to this union were born 9 children, 4 of them dying in infancy. Those living are: Mrs. Lillie Chilton, Farmington, No.; Mrs. Allie Stevenson, Detroit, Mich.; Chas. Lewis of Annapolis; Mrs.Ruth Brever, Annapolis; Mrs. Ethel Ruble, Des Arc; besides he leaves a wife, 21 grandchildren and 5 greatgrandchildren, and friends without number that his clean and Christian life was accountable for. He professed faith in Christ at the age of 16 years and was baptised by Br o. Settles into the Missionary Baptist church at Annapolis, but later when this church disbanded, he, with his wife, joined the general Baptist Church of which he was a member for 26 years or until God saw fit to call his to his revard. He was always found at his post of duty whatever it demanded.

There was never any finding fault or dissatisfaction with him, always looking on the bright side of things. He was active in church and religious affairs as well as political, serving two terms as county judge in Iron county. His many friends will remember his as being generous, big hearted and kind, always having a word or jest for every one he met.

The funeral was conducted by Bro. Z.F. Yount and Bro. J. W. Alcorn at the Presbyterian church, it being the closest church. The six living brothers acted as pall bearers. Quite a large crowd attended the funeral, friends and relatives from several distantplaces. He was laid to rest by the side of his dead babies at the Lewis cemetery near Annapolis, a place we will always hold sacred to our hearts, for there we know lies one of the best friends we children and mother had on earth. Oh, what it means to give up father. One year ago we watched life slowly ebb out and it has been a year of heartaches and loneliness. Sometimes it sees only a dream that father is gone from us forever. Then there's the awakening, it is true but yet we know that we, too have thesame debt to pay and “it wont be long; it may be soon,”' and we will look to the hills from which our strength cometh and lean heavily on the arms of our burden bearer, for we feel assured that some day if we are as faithful as the one that taught us

May each of us five children be able to say if we, like father, were called out:

“We want to like everybody.”

May we, a broken family, look forward.

Wife and Children.
