Death of John Scott Lewis

TH0MPs0N-It is not the intention, or within the province, of the writer of Lhis tribute, to enter inte biographi- cal or historical sketch of John Scott Lewis but to speak of him in per sonal way from knowledge gained by close association with the man of over twenty five years. During this time friendship was formed bordering on kinship
 It would be peculiarly difficult for anyone to really appreciate the true worth of character of, MT. Lewis without meeting him in many ot the activities of life which bring men to- gether in close association.
 It has been the pleasure and privil ege of the V ritter to meet and associate with MT. Lewis in such ways and to find him honest and upright Tn ousl- ness transactions, friendly and cordial in social WAY, with a warm hand oi fellowship. a pleasant greeting anu never failing readiness to meet ail oo ugations. He was cheerful ana friendly, especially when outside, bent on pleasure, with no thought of ousi- ness cares. While riding over the ru ral surroundings Of the village he evi danced a strong love and fondness Tor nature and the natural scenery ot the beautiful surrounding country. it was on such trips that his 1taIk would take more personal turn Whicn gave the writer Il closer insight Into HIS ha ture and strengthened the tie of Ifienu- ship already formed.
 The expression to be heard on every . side in this village, tc"hcefnihe 'he death of MT. Lewis, Is, that ne VIII pe sorely missed in this community. inae will indeed be true Tn Vafious ways In his presence in town, ms cheefiu'' hearty greeting, his liberal cohtaou lions to all worthy causes especiaiCy to the church where he WAS 10 De seeh regularly every Sunday prior to hls illness. the many silent ueeds oi cial ity he performed ana Nlhe eenelo-s spirit with which he aided In oftnelhk ohaar and comfort to those less forum ate in this worlds goods than hinlSeh' For these reasons and for many more, for he was an upright christian gentle ,n,n gsnerous and kind, will he be missed Rarely speakiag ot himself : esneciaIIy in public, his sterling wofth and character were known only to those who enjoyed his closest iflehu shin. The quiet, reserved manner so .characteristic of him, still further eVi- dsnees the true heart of the man.
