The funeral services occurred at the Congregational church at Genoa Bluff Feb. 10, where the Rev. C.W. Stark spoke to a large congregation from 1 Cor. 15:35. 'But some man will say, how are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?' One by one they bid us goodby, but we hope to meet them all again. The interment took place at the Genoa Bluff cemetery."
The children of Norman and Emily Lewis were: Levi, Egbert, Franklin Gifford, George Washington, and Emily. George Washington Lewis was the son-in-law of Norman's second wife, Catherine Fisher.
