A highly intelligent, industrious and capable business man, Jay M. Lewis is prominently identified with the manufacturing and mercantile interests of Erie Co, being proprietor of the CloverLeaf Cheese factory, which was established at North East in 1890, and has been among the leading industries of the place. A native of Iowa, he was born March 16, 1878 in Hastings, Mills Co, a son of Elisha G. Lewis. He comes from distinguished New England ancestry, being a direct descendant of William Ellery, of Rhode Island, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence being his great-great-grandson. The Lewis family originated in Wales, the founder of the American family of that name immigrating to the United States from that country.
Brought up in Pennsylvania, USA, Jay M. Lewis obtained his rudimentary education in the common schools of Greenfield Twp., after which he attended the Fredonia State Normal School, from which he was graduated with the class of 1898. As a young man he was for a time in the employ of the Wabash and Nickle Plate Railway companies, after which he spent four years in learning the trade of manufacturing cheese, of which he is now an expert. Having become thoroughly conversant with the business, Mr. Lewis, in 1907, purchased his present plant, and has now one of the best equipped factories in Erie Co, in addition to manufacturing cheese making his own cheese boxes. The factory has an actual output of upwards of a thousand pounds a day, its capacity being fifteen hundred pounds, and this amount he sells in Erie, F.R. Simmons paying him the highest Market price for all that he can manufacture.
