Friday morning our little burg [Sulphur Hill] had thrown over it a shadow of gloom. At twenty minutes of three the life given spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis passed to the God who gave it. On the 20th of last February Mrs. Lewis sustained a fracture of the right lower limb by a fall on the ice. She never fully recovered from the shock and gradually passed to her final rest. Her parents, Mr. Alexander Mulholland was born May 10,1803 in Ireland. Miss Margaret Malcom was born August 10,1803 in Ireland. After marriage they came to America, settling in New Jersey, where Elizabeth was born to them March 25,1835. Eight others came to bless the hearthside, namely, James, Martha, Alexander, Margaret, Jane, Samuel, Sarah, George H. and Mary. In 1839 the family settled in Rush county, Indiana. The deceased joined the Presbyterian church in 1851, changed her membership to the Methodist Episcopal South in 1875, and in 1890 moved her membership here to the M. E. church of this place of which she has continued to be a member. On August 26, 1856, she married Mr. John F. Lewis, who died at their residence here in 1889. Mrs. Lewis was 70 years, three months and twenty days old when she died. Two members of the family still survive -- Mr. George H. Mulholland of Indianapolis, and Margaret Jane Redshaw of Beardstown, Illinois. We are requested to say on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ross that they appreciate the kindly and timely assistance in the case of Mrs. Lewis. That without the help of the people of the community, it would have been impossible to care for her.

Dr. S. J. Lewis, the subject of this sketch, was born in Hamilton county, O., Sept. 14, 1820, grew up in Pleasant Hill, Clermont county, of the same State. He made profession of religion at a little Wednesday evening prayer meeting, and joined the M.E. Church in 1841. Was married to Miss Sarah Medearis, March 19, 1842, came to Indiana and settled in Fairland in 1852, and died Dec. 22, 1874.
Aged 54 years.
He graduated in medicine in 1847, and at once began the practice. Dr. Lewis was denied the advantage of an early education, but by dint of effort, devotion to reading and energy of character, he succeeding in acquiring a good share of useful knowledge and in making a success in life. For the last fifteen years he has done a large business in his profession, and has been very successful. As a citizen he was large hearted, enterprising and benevolent; nothing indeed, little, narrow or exclusive about him; he seemed to live for others as well as himself, always ready for any good word or work. He has filled with acceptability the various positions of class-leader, steward, trustee and Sabbath school superintendant in the church of his choice.
But few men had so large a hold upon the affections of the people, and but few could have died that would have been more severely missed. His sufferings were somewhat protracted and severe, but his end was peaceful.
His funeral was preached in the M.E. Church to a crowded audience, in which there were representatives from Shelbyville, Boggstown, and various other parts of the county. His remains were placed in a most beautiful burial case and deposited in a well prepared vault, by Mr. Enos, of our city, in their new cemetery at Fairland. He leaves a widow, no children to mourn.
