- OBITUARY
Mrs. Clema Foster Lewis was born in Piedmont, September 5, 1919; and entered into her rest at her home in Des Arc on July 7, 1940, at the age of twenty years, ten months, and two days.
Early in life she suffered the loss of her parents and lived for a number of years with her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Green Brooks.
She was united in marriage to Mr. Wellman Lewis, December 9, 1937. To this union were born two children; Norma Elaine, and Wellman Wayne.
She leaves to mourn her departure a devoted husband, two children, four sisters, three brothers, her foster parents, and the parents of her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Zell Lewis, to whom she seemed as an own daughter. Besides these, there are 41 host of near and distant relatives together with a community of friends to whom she was most essential.
The first interest in the life of Clema Lewis was her husband, her family and her home. She was a splendid mother and sacrificing wife.
May the strong comforting arm of a loving Heavenly Father, soothe and sustain those to whom her going has been such a blow. As the rose is picked in its bud for its beauty, so has this life ended early, just as it was breaking forth in full blossom.
The funeral services were held in the Church of the Nazarene, Des Arc, with Rev. S. N. Whitcanack, Pastor, in charge.
