Neighbor Lewis, who retired because of her husband's health, “really put her time and heart into working for Royal Neighbors,” according to Deputy Dorothy Maness, Poplar Bluff. “Mrs. Lewis is still a very interested Royal Neighbor, always getting new prospects for her camp, and is truly sorry she can't get out and work more.”
