SILAS D. LEWIS DIES;
VETERAN AND POLICEMAN

Silas D. Lewis, a retired member of
the police force. died at his home, 1888
AZ street southwest. last night after
an illness of several weeks. He was a
native of Northumberland county, Va.
where he was born February 6, 1841.
Early in March. 1870. he became a
member of the police force, serving un-
til September 15, 1915, when he was re-
tired.
Most of his police service was per-
formed in South Washington at a time
when the services of the bravest mem
bers of the force were in demand. He
gained the respect of law-abiding resi-
dents of that section because of his
fearlesSness, and lawbreakers also re-
spected him. When he wanted any of
the latter to answer a sworn complaint,
it is stated, all he had to do was to let
them know when he wanted them to
meet him at the police station.
While many other policemen in that
section found it necessary to engage
in fights with prisoners, it is said, Isl"
Lewis, as he was so well known, sell
dom had to resort to violence. During
the latter years of his police service
he was connected with the harbor pre-
cinct.
At the age of thirteen years he left
his country home. abandoning farm life

for life on the water, and was en-
ployed on sailing vessels on the
Chesapeake bay and Potomac river.
August 13. 1861, he responded to his
country's call and served with the Sd
Pennsylvania Cavalry, receiving his
discharge August "a, 1864. He re-en-
listed and served as a mounted mes
senger at the White House, later join
ing the police force.
He was a member of Columbia
Lodge, No. 8. F. A. A. NJ. and John A
Rawlins Post. No. l, G. A. r. Funeral
services, which will be conducted un-
der the auspices of Columbia Lodge,
will be held at the home of the de-
ceased at 2 O'Clock, Friday afternoon.
Rev. John E. Briggs, pastor of Fifth
