| 6. | Alexander LEWIS (1.John1) was born on 22 Aug 1861 in Charlottesville, Indiana; died on 23 Dec 1930; was buried on 28 Dec 1930 in Highland Cemetary. Notes:
This is from a page copied out of a book, but I don't know the title. It also had a copy a photo I have of Tommy, Carrie, Leslie, and Carrie's mother Adeline outside Tommy and Carrie's sod house.
" Alex Lewis, along with his three brothers--Jasper, Tommy and Charlie came by covered wagon to Fairbury (NE) in 1884. Jasper stayed at Fairbury; Charlie went to Oklahoma and Tommy moved to Friendville, now Friend. Later Tommy and his
bridemoved to a farm northwest of Oxford. Leonard Hays now owns the Tommy Lewis Farm.
In 1886 Alex, accompanied by Frank Klein settled on a farm about twelve miles northwest of Oxford (NE). One of their first experiences in batching in the new land was a prairie fire. Noticing that a fire was appraching from the south, they
hurriedly took their belongings from the house, piled them on the ground and plowed a fire guard around them. The freakish thing was that the fire traveled so swiftly, it burned all the grass under the house since it sat on a foundation of six
large rocks but did not burn a single stick of lumber in the house.
Alex journeyed back to Effingham, Illinois in 1893 and married Hannah Burris from Wilkinson, Indiana. On their return to Nebraska that summer, they lived in a sod house with a lean-to attached to the house, one-half mile east of the Union
Church where Argyl and Edmund (Billy) were born. Later the family moved further south on the creek into a one room house on the present farm where Edmund and Velma now live. This home was the birthplace of Dorthy, who died in infancy, Irene
and Ralph. Ralph lost his life in an airplane accident in 1955. Irene married Walter Wanner. Their home was blessed with one daughter, Waldene. Edmund married Velma Fuchs. Two sons, Charles A. and Kent added bliss to this home. Kent passed
away in his senior year in high school in the same accident that took the life of his Uncle Ralph. Argyll married Leola Flodine from Stamford.
Mrs. Alex Lewis and Mrs. Joe Vopat organized a Sunday School at Hardscrabble School in the late 1890's. Sunday School and Church were held there until 1908 when the Union Church was built. Alex Lewis served as one of the first trustees for
the Union Church. Mrs. Lewis passed away in 1921 and Mr. Lewis in 1930."
From a copy of his obituary,:
Alexander married Hannah Ellen BURRIS on 21 Jun 1893 in Effingham, IL. Hannah (daughter of and Mary) was born on 7 Nov 1867 in Beecher City, IL; died on 21 Aug 1921 in Omaha, NE; was buried on 24 Aug 1921 in Union Cemetary; Oxford, NE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

A newspaper clipping about their 50th wedding anniversery reads:

all of McCook, Mr. and Mrs. Argyll Lewis of Stamford, Mr. and Mrs. Walt Wanner, and Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Lewis.

Lewises Observed Sixtieth Aniversary
Observed Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Lewis was their 60th Wedding Anniversary. To help them celebrate the occasion were 58 guests who registered during the afternoon.
A picnic dinner was given at noon for the immediate family on the Argyl Lewis lawn. The Lewises held open house from 3 to 6 p.m. at which time many wellwishers dropped in to visit.
Cake presented to the couple was baked by Mrs. Walter Wanner and decorations were from Mrs. Argyll Lewis. It was a three tiered affair of white decorated with red roses. Atop the cake were wedding bells with doves and the figures sixty in
silver.
In addition they received a lovely boquet of flowers from their son Leslie Lewis, who was unable to attend. He lives in Pomona, Calif. The boquet consisted of pink glads, yellow pompoms and orange-yellow chrysanthemums.
Moving pictures were presented by their grandson Rex O. Lewis and wife and baby, Tommy
of Redlands, Calif. Scenes were of the family and baby. Many lovely gifts and cards of rememberance were received.
Special guests wer Mr. and Mrs. Asa A. Wolfe of McCook, parents of Mrs. Rex O. Lewis. The Wolfes were celebrating their 36th wedding anniversary that day.
Relatives from out of town were Mr. and Mrs H.C. Lewis of Vergas Minn., Mrs. Mabel Harry of Arcola, Ill., Mrs Myrtle Wintermute , Friend, Nebr.
Looking back over the 60 years, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Lewis remember that on August 29, 1893, they were married at the courthouse at Wilbur, Nebr. Mrs. Lewis was then Miss Carrie Wintermute.
Just a few months following their wedding in January, 1894, they moved to Furnas county where they settled on a farm ten miles northwest of Oxford. Their home has been here ever since.
When they first came to this county they lived in a sod house. This was their home until 1906 when they built a frame home. Leonard Hays now lives on the farm where they started their farming life.
In 1918, Mr. Lewis , who is now 89, decided to leave the farm and moved to Oxford. After 12 years sojurn in town, they returned to the farm where they lived another 12 years, returning in 1940.
While living in town they made their home where they do today, just a block west of the school house. Mrs. Lewis is 79 years of age.
To the Lewis family, three children were born. A son Leslie, lives in California, and two baby daughters died in infancy.
Taking a backward look, the couple have found the years filled with happiness, joys, sorrows, but all in all they were grand years of wedded bliss.

Rex has his father Leslie's gold pocket watch. It was a wedding gift from Grandma Carrie. She probably bought it used. The marriage was in 1917.
It winds both by the stem and by a key. The old watches used a key and the stem winders had just come out. Evidently the maker didn't trust the stem to be reliable, so they used both methods.
Leslie was in and out of the home or Effie would throw him out. One time Leslie decided that he wanted his watch, but he couldn't find it. He normally kept it in the foyer in a drawer. Rex had taken it because he was afraid that his father would sell the watch and Rex wanted it handed down in the family. Rex didn't tell his Dad that he knew where the watch was ? sin of omission.
