The friends of Dr. Chas. Lewis will be sorry to hear of his sad bereavement. Death entered his happy home in Yung Chowfoo, China, on the morning of the 31st of May 1897, and took away his noble companion, Alice Davis Lewis. Dr. and wife were united in marriage on the 1st of September 1896, at her home in Liberty, Maine. After spending a few weeks at the doctor's home near Frostburg, they sailed for China, November 12, where they have lived happily together in that far off land learning the language and preparing for their noble work, until the call came to go to her father who had prepared a place for her. Their life together has been very short but the Father whom she adored had need of her very gentle spirit. Mrs. Lewis came as a stranger to us, but little time was required to see the Christ-like spirit which she possessed, her very presence was an inspiration to a better and truer life. None knew her but to love her. She was a graduate of Bucksport Seminary, Me., and of Boston General Hospital. The cause of her death was small-pox. Her remains were interred in the foreigners cemetery, Yung Chow.
(She was a nurse. They were medical missionaries in China)
Her family added her information to their stone.
