IN MEMORY OF MRS. JAMES JOHNSON
We extend our deepest sympathy to all who mourn the death on Mrs. JOHNSON. In the passing of Mrs. James JOHNSON we feel the loss of an estimable woman, neighbor and friend whose kind words and deeds endeared her to all with whom she met. Her cheerful conversation was always an uplift to Mrs. MILLS. Mrs. JOHNSON was at all times just her self "Nellie", a person of rare integrity. For more than a half century we have heartly enjoyed "Nellie" as best of friends. Mills family.

Again the Master beckoned and one of our faithful sisters heard the call and gently her spirit winged its way to Him who gave it. She was faithful to every trust and down through the years her untiring labor in behalf of the Relief corps will stand as a monument to her memory. The tender sympathy of this Women's Relief corps, A.P. Morton post, No 69, is extended to her sons and daughter. Not dead, but only promoted. She has entered the Order above, And there 'neath the smiles of the Master, She will finish her labors of love. The next regular meeting of the corps will be Tuesday, July 14th. --Mable Thorson, Press Cor.

Samuel LEWIS

Publication Date: January 18, 1912

MR SAMUEL LEWIS RESTS FROM LABOR
Pioneer and Good Citizen of This City Dies at the Ripe Age of Eighty-seven

A life of unusual length and vigor came to a close in New Hampton yesterday at 11:00 o'clock, when the soul of Mr. Samuel LEWIS passed away to the Great Beyond. He was aged 87 years and one month.

Mr. LEWIS had been in gradually failing health since a year ago last fall, when he had a sick spell which it was feared would prove fatal. He rallied, however, from that attack sufficiently to be up and about the house and garden for a little at a time throughout the past year. One week ago last Saturday he discontinued eating and had nothing since. He suffered little, and at the end sank into peaceful sleep.

Samuel LEWIS was born icon on a farm near the town of Indiana, in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. When he was a little boy his father died, and he made his own way in the world. He began to learn the tailor trade, and later worked as a coal miner. In this and the kindred trade of brick making he grew to strong young manhood and on January 6, 1848, was united in marriage with Miss Sarah JOHNSTON. For eighteen years he labored at various work, following the occupation for a time of pilot for the rafting industry. At the breaking out of the war (Civil), he was in Virginia, where he owned two oil wells which he was developing, having associated with him a nephew, John LEWIS. Their sympathies were with the north, and when the rebels tried to press them into the southern army, they escaped and evaded the rebel recruiting squads, making the last forty miles to the union line by means of a horse which a northern sympathizer loaned them and which they took turn about riding. The nephew joined the union army, fought three years and was killed in battle.

Mr. LEWIS suffered serious financial loss through his experience in the South. In 1866, he came with his family to Iowa, arriving in New Hampton on the 22nd of February and settling in a log house on the plat of ground near the Milwaukee station, which now bears the comfortable brick home. He engaged in brick making here and also for a time ran a yard at Calmar. He made the brick for many of the present business houses of New Hampton, also for the original brick school house, and donated twenty thousand brick to the building of the court house. After twenty years of this kind of work he was attacked by rheumatism and in 1886 quit all active labor and business. He busied himself about the home though, and it was not until four years ago that he found that any kind of labor, no matter how light, was difficult.

Mr. LEWIS was the father of 11 children of whom two daughters and a son died in infancy. Irvin died in New Hampton April 1, 1887, aged thirty years. Letitia J. WOOD died at Rockford, Illinois seven years ago and was buried here. Those surviving are William J. LEWIS of Magalia, Cal.; R.A. of New Hampton, James F. of Rockford, Ill.; Mrs. Mary A. JACKSON of St. Paul, John F. and Mrs. Ida M. SOHN of New Hampton. All were at the deathbed of their father, ministering to the comfort to their aged mother. Mr. LEWIS leaves twenty-three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

The funeral will be held at the home on Friday at 2 p.m. conducted by the Rev. Harry Secor of the Baptist Church and interment will be in Graceland.

Mr. LEWIS was a man of rugged character and of extreme vigor of body. He was devoted to labor and worked hard to provide for those entrusted to his care. He was a good husband and father, a good citizen and a true friend and neighbor.
