Charles B. Lewis. better known by
his pen-name of M. Quad was born
In northern Ohio early in the forties.
and. after receiving a common school
education, learned the printers trade.
Desiring to better his condition, and
hearing of an opening in Maysville, KY,
he started for that place. The steam
boat on which he took passage was
blown to atoms by the explosion Of Its
boiler, and for several months Mr..
Lewis lowered between life and death
in Cincinnati hospital. When the
war broke out he went to the front
with the Seventh Michigan cavalry, and
served with his regiment throughout
the conflict. After being mustered out
he went to Michigan and again took
up the printers trade. He was con-

his hands and body.
