Anderson, Indiana - August 31, 1900:
John H. Lewis, who died Wednesday in Marion, was aged sixty-three years. He was born in a farm in Rush County and worked his way through Butler University. He was a captain in the Civil War and was severely wounded. He settled in Hendricks County and was elected county treasurer. He removed to Warsaw, where he organized the Lake City Bank, now in successful operation. He was its cashier for several years. He went to Chicago and lost his fortune in the wholesale tobacco business. He then published a magazine, but it was not a moneymaker. Coming to Anderson, he established the Anderson Daily-Herald, disposing of it after some years to J. Q. Donnell. Leaving this city, Mr. Lewis removed to Detroit, where he engaged in newspaper work, and thence he went to Marion, where he became interested in manufacturing. His children, Miss Clara Lewis and Ernest I. Lewis, both of Indianapolis, were at his deathbed. His body was taken to Indianapolis for interment in Crown Hill Cemetery, where Mrs. Lewis is buried.
