From the Westford Wardsman, 30 July 1910
The bright, clear life of Oak Hill has its clouds. This was most visible in the clouding of youthful life in the death last Saturday of Lewis E. [L.] Fletcher, the eleven-year-old son of Hon. Herbert E. Fletcher. Although ill for some time, yet not until three weeks ago was his condition pronounced hopeless by ex-pert skill. Change of climate, scenes and associates was all brought to bear in coaxing the life back to normal, but otherwise had made too strong a claim. Lewis had been one of the bright scholars of the Nabnassett school, and [a] former teacher said, "Teaching is made easy and simplified with such bright scholars." Besides his father and mother, he leaves two brothers, Harold and Ralph, and one sister, Hazel. He was the youngest of the family.
The funeral took place from the home of his parents last Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. M. Craig of Lowell conducted the service and Mrs. F. L. Roberts, a favorite of the family, sang "Sometime we'll understand," and "The Christian's good night." The bearers were Harold and Ralph Fletcher, Perley Knight and Sidney Perham. Midst the flowers of the field and garden, the flower of youth was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery.
