One brother, Henry Lewis, three half brother, Issom, Edgar and Benjamin Lewis, and five half sisters, Mrs. Bessie Ruble, Mrs Martha Sherrill, Mrs Myrtle (Ruble), and Misses Kate and Irene Lewis, and a host of relatives and friends. She left her home about 8 o'clock Saturday morning going to her brother's home, Henry Lewis. As she was returning home she stopped at her sister's, Mrs. Avery Ruble. As she stood talking to her sister, she put her hand to the left side of her head saying,'Oh, Myrtle.' Myrtle replied, 'What is the matter? She said, 'I don't know.' which were her last words. There she fell suddenly with hemorrhage of the brain. She suffered five long hours, then the Lord called her home to reign with him throughout eternity. She was converted and united with the Baptist Church at the Sutton school house in 1900 where she remained a faithful member until the Lord called her away. Funeral services were conducted at the Union Church by Bro. White, Sermon preached by Rev. Joseph Alcorn and prayer by Sherman Sherrill. She was laid to rest in the Annapolis Cemetery until the resurrection morning. [From a newspaper clipping in possession of Linda Lewis 1-3-90)
