General Notes: Husband - James C. Lewis
He received his education in private schools and the Western University of Pennsylvania. In boyhood he learned the iron trade, and in 1845, with his brother George and James O'Hara, formed the firm of Lewis, O'Hara & Lewis, and erected the Vesuvius Iron-works at Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, which in 1847 was changed to Lewis, Dalzell & Co. In 1863 George Lewis died and Lewis W., his brother, was taken into the firm. In 1878 the firm was dissolved, and in 1880 Mr. Lewis went to Portsmouth, Ohio, where he organized the Portsmouth Iron & Steel company, of which he was elected president and general superintendent, and his sons, George Sargent, secretary-treasurer, and Frank C., assistant superintendent. Some three years after, Mr. Lewis disposed of his interest in this company and returned to Pittsburgh. He was also connected with the Isabella furnaces at Etna for many years, and was actively engaged in various other kinds of business.
He and his family were Presbyterians, of which church he was a ruling elder for some thirty-two years or more. Politically he was a strong republican, and was a member of the first county, state and national conventions held at Pittsburgh to organize the republican party.
