              MRS. DAVID LEWIS DIES
              
              MRS. DAVID (ADELIA*) LEWIS, widow of the late Rev. LEWIS
            died at her home in the First ward yesterday morning.
              Although MRS. LEWIS had been ill for several weeks a
            short time ago she had apparently recovered, as late as
            Monday had performed her household duties even to the
            extent of doing her family washing. Tuesday night she
            began to fail rapidly and early the following morning
            the sands of life ran out, death being the result of
            her advanced age.
              MRS. LEWIS on September 25 last celebrated her 90th
            birthday, having been born in the year 1822. In the
            year 1880 she moved here with her husband, where she
            has since made her home. She was a most remarkable
            woman, being exceptionally energetic and industrious.
            MRS. LEWIS was a devout Christian and a great help-
            mate to her husband in the early days of his service
            in the M. E. church work.
              The funeral will be held from the house Friday
            morning at 10 o'clock and from the M. E. church at
            10:30, Rev. J. L. Sizer officiating.
              JOHN McNALLY of Hopkins, N.D., a grand-son will
            arrive here today to attend the funeral.
              At the time of the death of MR. LEWIS the couple
            had been married sixty-three years, both having been
            pioneers in church work when the state of Wisconsin,
            or the greater portion of it was a wilderness.
            
            *NOTE* The above obituary did not mention her first name.
            I obtained it from the 1900 Federal Census, ED 48, Ward 1,
            Sturgeon Bay, WI.
