James Lewis married as his second wife Paulina Garrett on 28 Mar 1869 in Hendricks County, IN. They had no children.
The Republican, Danville, IN, Thursday, March 19, 1891
Saturday night about 8:30 o'clock James Lewis retired and was soon asleep. In about a half an hour his wife noticed he was in distress and before she could move him he gasped and died. She immediately summoned her neighbors but life was extinct and their efforts were without avail. His death was caused by heart disease although he was in good health having served on a jury until late Saturday evening. Mr. Lewis was born in October 1832 and at the outbreak of the war enlisted in the Seventh regiment and served for three years. Just a few days before his time of enlistment expired he was captured and was confined at Andersonville for seven months. The funeral was preached at the Christian church with which he had lately connected himself, Tuesday afternoon by Elder Chase, the burial being in charge of the G. A. R. post. Mr. Lewis was a gallant soldier and a good citizen with many friends. His wife and daughter who lives in Torrence, Kansas, have the sympathy of all.
