At that time there were no railroads to New Hampton, only cow paths for roads, and no bridges across the Wapsie. She endured all the hardships of a pioneer mother.
When a very young girl she was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith and clung to this all her life. Almost her last conscious thought was prayer to her Lord and Master.

Samuel LEWIS
Publication: New Hampton Newspaper
Publication Date: January 1912
Mr. Samuel LEWIS passed away at his home in this city, Wednesday, January 17, 1912, at 11:20 a.m.
Deceased was born
December 18, 1825, in Indiana, Indiana County, Penn. There he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah JOHNSTON on January 6, 1848. In 1866 they came to New Hampton and settled on their property just north of the Milwaukee depot, where they have since resided and where he died.
Eleven children were born
to them; Two sons and one daughter died in infancy; Mrs. Bert WOOD died a number of years ago and Irvin died at the age of thirty years.
Besides his wife, he is survived by the following children; William J. of Magalia, Calif., James, of Rockford, Ill., Mrs. Mary JACKSON, of St. Paul, R.A. LEWIS, J.F. LEWIS, and Mrs. Fred SOHN of this city.
The funeral will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at the home, conducted by Rev. Harry Secor of the Baptist Church, and interment will be in Graceland cemetery.
Mr. LEWIS was interested in the oil wells of the east and after moving here was engaged in the manufacture of brick, making a good share of the brick used in the buildings on Main Street.
Samuel LEWIS was a man of few words, but expressed his sentiments always in a quiet manner that was very impressive; a man of the strictest integrity, he done his work well, his word was as good as a bond, kind and loving to his family, ready to sacrifice at any time for their comfort. As a husband he was always true to the wife of this choice and for her nothing obtainable was too good; as a friend he was true as steel; as a citizen, loyal to his country, he lived right before the world, met reverses with courage and kept faith not only with others but with himself, scorned little petty meanness, a peacemaker all the time and had the attributes of manhood that make a good neighbor, citizen, father and husband.
Mr. LEWIS was a man who left the world better for his having lived in it and bequeaths to his children an unsullied name and the memory of a good father.
His aged wife has the sympathy of this entire community and will retain their respect and esteem while she lingers here awaiting for the call to join him who passed over to the better land.
