Biography
According to information entered on his death certificate, Lewis was born March 15 1843, he was age 94 years 8 months 3 days of age when he passed away 18 Nov 1937. [1]
Lewis FIND A GRAVE memorial, which shows his middle name as Marrison, gives his birth as 15 mar 1838, making him 99 years old at his death.[2]Because his wife was born in 1848, I am inclined toward the 1843 birthdate being correct
