Born on February 14th 1902 at Iron Gate, Golden Grove, Carmarthenshire, the second of six children of John Thomas Lewis and Jemima (nee Davies.)
Died on May 17th 1965 in Cleveland, Ohio and buried at Acacia Masonic Memorial Park, Mayfield Heights, Cleveland.
TV was educated at Golden Grove Primary school and Llandilo County School and left his native Wales on February 19th 1927 sailing from Southampton to New York aboard the Red Star liner SS Pennland. Prior to his departure he was employed in a clerical capacity with the Great Western Railway.
He travelled directly from New York to Cleveland where he resided for the rest of his life. He married Margaret Alice Blackburn, originally from Greater Manchester who had arrived in New York on August 18th 1920 aboard the SS Mobile.
Following his death, the then Dean of Washington Cathedral, Mount Saint Alban, Washington, D.C. and formerly of St Paul's, Cleveland arranged a permanent memorial in the Cathedral. The memorial, part of the fabric of the Cathedral, took the form of a carved boss or keystone which is the intersection stone of vaulting providing a graceful termination point for the stone ribs as they climb from their column capitals and support the ceiling infills.The carving was designed by the Dean and incorporates the buck-eye leaf, the state tree of Ohio, and the heraldic shields of Wales and the Diocese of Northern Ohio, the former, with its lion passant-gardant, representing TV's Welsh origin and the latter a symbol of the location of St.Pauls Church, Cleveland, of which he was a long-time communicant and vestryman.
