Additional info for Linda...
I noted that Linda stated the death certificate indicating a date of
4-10-1913 and the year of the obituary index is 1918. There are
indeed errors in the Vigo county library index, as I discovered with
two of my ancestors. The librarian discovered it when she went to
look them up, and then gave me the correct dates of publication when
she sent the photocopies to me. Death certificates have also been
known to contain errors, but the year on the certificate is most
likely correct, since they were filled out soon after death.

Could he
have died in Terre Haute and been buried in Bloomington, Indiana?
I looked at the Wabash Valley Obituary Index,
http://www.vigo.lib.in.us/~obits/320/l_1page28.html
for the name Lewis, and there is the following entry:
LEWIS DAVID 18/04/26 68 02 TRIB
So the obituary for the only David Lewis listed in the index for 1903-1920
is for the one whose obit appeared in the Terre Haute Tribune newspaper on
April 26, 1918. It is on page 2 and his age was listed as 68 at death.
