General Notes: Husband - Hugh Parr Lewis

---

He attended the schools of his neighborhood and remained at home with his father until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he began to be interested in military matters. In the spring of 1862 he enlisted in Company K, 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, under Capt. D. K. Duff and Colonel Scholmaker, for three years. After his promotion to the rank of corporal, he was discharged for disability while in the line of duty. To his loyal spirit it was a sore cross to be obliged to return home, but his physical condition made this imperative. Returning home, he took a commercial course in the Iron City Business College at Pittsburgh, and then became a clerk in a store at Marion Center. Soon afterward, though, he began farming, settling on a 170 acre farm in 1869. This property was later known as the "Rolling Farm," and was north of Marion Center. As his property was eminently suited for stock raising, Mr. Lewis began experimenting along that line in 1874, and found it so profitable that he developed into a heavy breeder of thoroughbred horses, specially noted ones being Fleetwood (a Hambletonian) and Lewis Dolphin. Mr. Lewis also raised Jersey cattle. He became an authority as well upon Berkshire hogs and sheep.
Like his father he was an ardent supporter of the principles of the Republican party, and filled the offices of tax collector, overseer of the poor, auditor of the township and supervisor. For three years he was county auditor, and in 1890 he was elected sheriff of Indiana County, serving as such for three years. In 1910 he was appointed postmaster at Marion Center, after he had taken the civil service examination. He always demonstrated a warm interest in school matters in a practical way, for he had taught school several terms in East Mahoning township in his younger days.
From the time of the organization of the John Pollock Post, No. 219, G. A. R., at Marion Center, he was an enthusiastic member, and held all the offices up to and including that of commander. He also belonged to the Jr. O. U. A. M. The Presbyterian Church helds his membership and he was one of the teachers of the Sunday school and also served as superintendent. For a period of twenty years, he led the choir in his church.
