WINSLOW R. LEWIS

Mr. Winslow R. Lewis died at his home in Bismarck, N.D. Monday afternoon, December 6, 1909. He was stricken with a stroke of apoplexy on Sunday morning and after a few hours of sickness passed away.

Mr. Lewis was born in Vermont, near Montpelier, November 19, 1832. When eleven years of age, he came to Lake County, Illinois, where he resided until 1860, when he came to Mitchell county, and settled on a farm in Douglas township where he lived for many years. In 1904, the family moved to Osage, and remained here until 1907, going then to Bismarck, N.D., where his death occurred at the age of seventy-seven years and a few days.

He is survived by his wife and six children, Elmer of Pasadena, Calif., Maude E., Clarke E., Leroy, Ward and Laura of Bismarck, N. D. He also leaves four grandchildren, Mrs. Blanche Morse, wife of Albert H. Morse of this city, Lewis Huson of Gray's Lake, Illinois, Ruth and Hale Huson of this place; and also three great grandchildren, the children of Mrs. Morse. Two sisters also remain to mourn his death, Mrs. Laura Gowdy of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Rose Beckwith of Rockefeller, Illinois.

Services were held at the home in Bismarck, Tuesday afternoon, December 7th, at 2:30, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Magin, of the Methodist church. The remains were accompanied to Osage by Mrs. Lewis and her son, Ward.

Funeral services were conducted here by Rev. F. P. Shaffer on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in the presense of many of his old friends and neighbors, and interment was made in the family lot in the Osage cemetery.

Many beautiful flowers surrounded the casket, sent from friends in Bismarck and those in this vicinity and elsewhere, to show their high regard for the dead and to express their sympathy for those who remain.
