LEW4s

Samuel &. Lewis, who was among
the first settlers of Howard county,
died at his home at Hart, Oeeana coun-
ty Michigan, Feb. 81. The 4th of that
month he had stroke of paralysis.
The few of the early settlers Of the
county will remember Mr.. Lewis, who
located just east of Granger in this
county, on the farm now owned by
Mr.. Brink. He was one of the intelli-
gent men of the county, prominent in
whatever promised to promote the
prosperity of its people. He was a
democrat, q patron and a friend, of
the PLAIN DEALER from it's first issue
in 1859 to the time OF his demise, and
never in arrears. Mrs. Geo. Reeves,
of this city, is sister of the deceased.
His age was a few months over IA.
CONWAY.
Mrs. John Conway, whose maiden
name was Mary Keefe, was born in
Manchester, Canada, Dec. 25. 1881.
While She was yet small child her
parents moved to Clinton, N. Y, where
she grew to womanhood. It was here
she married John Conway, Nov. lS,
1852. They lived in New Yark until
1853, when they moved to Iowa set
tlingin Howard county. Mr.. Conway
died March %, 1891. About eleven
years ago Mrs. Conway began to suffer
from rheumatism and was later strick-
en- with paralysis. During her resi-
dence with her son Dan at Elma She
was practically helpless, but during
all of her suffering she was patient and
accomplishing. She was the mother
of nine boys, six of whom survive herI

Frank, Of Pueblo, Col. and j. W., D.
R. and A. D., of this place. Charles
Keefe and M. L. Keefe, formerly Of
Charles City, are her only surviving
brothers in the west.
We were not privileged to be per-
sonally acquainted with this good lady
but we are much impressed with the
high regard In which she was held by
all who knew her. She was a woman
of strong character whose dominating
traits were industry, family affection
and deep religious feeling. She was
always proud Of "her boys,s and their
parting with her now is one of the
hardest tasks they have ever had.
