Lewis White Adair was the third child of the family. I can only write as I knew him in my time. Uncle Lewis was a U.S. Postal Employee, at the then Main Office at corner of Broad and Meeting Streets, He married Carmel Barry. Her sister Marie Barry lived with them. Uncle Lewis and Aunt Carmel had two sons, Lewis and John. The family lived at 108 St. Philip's Street, east side between Vanderhorst and Warren Streets, I remember an enjoyable week's stay, Ethel and I had with them at their Sullivan's Island house. A lovely small home wedding was held at the Adairs, honoring a niece of Aunt Carmel. I furnished the piano music and my Dad, the singing. An adventure we had together was on a trip on the train-coach, one summer, to Washington, D.C. Lewis and I were about 16, John and Ethel 10 or 11. We were all young enough to enjoy the trip and also our visit to Mt. Vernon. In his adult years, John became a Roman Catholic Priest and Lewis became a post oddice employee.
