General Notes: Husband - James Even Lewis


He served in the Civil War. Afterwards he chose the carpenter trade, at which he worked for some time. In 1880 he married. He purchased and moved to a farm in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. They were members of the M. E. Church.

He was reared and educated in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and at an early age he began to follow the occupation of farming. In August, 1864, he enlisted in his native county in Company B, 206th P. V. I., for one year, and was sworn into the service of the United Stales at Camp Reynolds. His regiment was assigned to the Army of the James and stationed at Bermuda Hundred and Spring Hill, and later it was sent to the vicinity of Fort Harrison, where they remained until April 3, 1865. His was the first organized regiment to enter the city of Richmond. In May the men were transferred to Lynchburg, Virginia, returning after a time to Richmond, where Mr. Lewis received an honorable discharge. The company was "paid off" at Camp Reynolds, and arrived home (Perrysville) July 4, 1865. On resuming the life of a civilian, Mr. Lewis spent some time in Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas, and, in 1871, he came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and located at New Millport, following the carpenter's trade, until in 1880, when he purchased a home, containing 130 acres in a good state of cultivation.
