I'm seeking information on the family of James J. Lewis (c.1851 -
1939). James was the son of James Lewis and his wife Mary. James was
born in Indiana, parents born in Kentucky. On October 27, 1869, James
J. married Clarissa E. or Clarcey Wilson, daughter of John A. and
Delilah Wilson. The 1880 Miami County census identifies two children:
Leslie c. 1875 and Lillie c. 1877. I have obtained a copy of the
obituary in the Peru newspaper - James J. Lewis died around July 18,
1939 in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska. He is buried in the Old
Miami Cemetery along with his parents and some siblings - William C.,
Udereah A., and Arthur C. Lewis. His obituary also states that he is
survived by one daughter. Would appreciate any information on James,
Clarissa, Leslie, Lillie and any subsequent children. Thank you in
advance for your time and consideration.
