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.

Research courtesy Linda E. Lewis, from her book George Lewis Descendants, October 1992:

There is some dispute over the birth date for Henry Lewis. Some say he was 3 years old when his mother, Mary Dace, died. Others say he was 5 years old which would have made his date of birth in 1888. Henry had no middle name. [Information from Mrs. Delmar(Opal) Lewis, Henry's daughter-in-law.]

THE SUPERINTENDENT'S CORNER
HENRY LEWIS' HOUSE BURNS
A report came to me Wednesday noon telling of the misfortune befalling the Lewis family. Some four years ago the house and furnishings of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were consumed by fire. Only very recently Mr. Lewis built a new house and moved into it. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis had every reason to be proud of their new home when lo without warning it was reduced to ashes. The Lewis family could not afford to take this loss, and the spontaneous responsiveness of our community has indicated its unwillingness to permit them to bear the loss alone. The extent of assistance through funds goods, sympathy and from the multiplicity of sources indicate in no uncertain way that southern hospitality and neighborliness reigns in our community.
Sincerely,
F.L. Luttrell

!ANNIVERSARY
The Arcadia Valley Senior Citizens Recreation Building was the setting for the Sixty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary celebration of Henry and Macy Lewis, one of the resident couples of the housing apartments. Sunday, Nov. 9, was the date.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were one of the first couples to move into the apartments when they were finished in January, 1980.
The couple were very happy to have their friends and relatives in to help them celebrate the happy occasion.
They have seven children, 15 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Thirty-four descendants in all make Henry and Macy feel that they have a wonderful life together. All seven children are living. In fact all of the 34 descendants are living. There were two infants who died, one at birth and the other at 10 days.
Three of the sons retired from the military service. Until recently when the last son retired, there had been at least one of them in the service of his country continuously since 1940, before the second World War. Forty years of service to their countryis something the whole family has been extremely proud of, and of course, Henry and Macy are very proud that they had such a patriotic family.
Henry and Macy enjoy living at the Senior Citizens Housing Apartments and seem to have taken a new lease on life. Henry is 90 years young and Macy is 84. They enjoy being able to visit with the other residents of the apartments and they are relieved thatthey do not have all the hard work to do that they did when they lived on their farm in Annapolis, Mo.
Aldena Kimmell is the Lewis' oldest child. She and her husband, Robert, live in Arcadia. Neva Jackson is next to age to Aldena. She also lives in Arcadia. Aldena has two children, and Neva has one.
Delmar lives in Green Cove Springs, Fla. He is retired from the service. Frank lives at Annapolis and Willis in St. Louis. Mary Lou Conrad also lives in St. Louis, and Lawrence resides in Enterprise, Ala.
Lawrence and Delmar were not able to be here for the big celebration. They sent their love and wishes for many more years of happiness.
Delmar has two children, Frank has two, Willis has two, Mary Lou has three and Lawrence is the father of three.
Now, Henry and Macy, all of your descendants, relatives, friends and fellow residents wish you all the luck in the world and may you be around to celebrate another 65 years of wedded bliss. We hope to be around to help you celebrate it. Good luck and best wishes for the good life
