Ted Lewison was born on December 25, 1927, to L. T. and Irene (Duea) Lewison in Story City. He served in the United States Marine Corps from August 27, 1946, until December 5, 1952, when he was honorably discharged. He furthered his education at Waldorf College, graduating with a Liberal Arts Degree in 1952. On September 4, 1951, he married Alice Bartleson at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Forest City. For many years, he worked for Hanson Furniture and Funeral Home. Eventually, however, he retired from Winnebago Industries after spending twenty-one years in the Stitchcraft Division.

He was preceded in death by his parents, L.T. and Irene (Duea) Lewison; his son, Jay, in 1981; his father- and mother-in-law, George and Myrtle Bartleson; and his brother in-law, Richard Bartleson.
