General Notes: Husband - John A. Lewis


He was reared and educated in the county of his nativity, and in early life learned the stone mason's trade, which he successfully followed after the Civil War. In 1861 at Curllsville, Clarion County, he joined the boys in blue as a member of Company G, 62nd Pennsylvania Artillery, for three years, and was sworn in at Pittsburgh in July of that year. With the Army of the Potomac he participated in the battle of Antietam and the seven-days' fight in front of Richmond, after which he was sent to Newark, New Jersey. Being taken ill, he was mustered out, but in March, 1863, at Sligo Furnace, he again enlisted, this time for three years, becoming a member of Company H, 155th P. V. I., which belonged to the Army of the Potomac. He took part in the battles of the Wilderness and Laurel Hill, and when the war was over participated in the Grand Review at Washington, D. C., after which he was honorably discharged at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in July, 1865.
Returning to his native county, Mr. Lewis lived at Sligo Furnace until 1871, when he came to Elk township, where he owned a farm of fifty acres under a high state of cultivation, and, in connection with its operation, he also worked at his trade.
His support was given to the principles of the Republican party; he served as a member of the school board in his district. Fraternally, he held membership in Amos Kiser Post No. 475, G. A. R.
