Biography

John Caleb Lewis was born in 1863 in Madoc, Hastings, Canada West. He was the son of Isaiah Lewis and Catherine Bowen.

John, age 6, and his parents were living in Madoc Township in Hastings North in 1871. By 1881, when John was 16, they were living in the Elzevir and Grimsthorpe Township in Hastings North. ^[1][2]

John married Harriet Ellen Woodcock on the 25th of November, 1890 in Napanee, Lennox and Addington, Ontario, Canada. ( John's sister, Ida Alberta Lewis ( who married Alex Quackenbush), was married just 5 days apart and was listed on the same marriage record. The first names of the parents of Alex Quackenbush and John Caleb Lewis are mixed up.)^[3]

John and Catherine then move to Kennebec, Lennox and Addington, Ontario by 1901. They stay there until some time after 1911 when they move to Kaladar, Northbrook and Flinton, Lennox and Addington, Ontario to run a hotel.
