Amelia Helen Isaacs was born in Williamson county, Illinois on the 19thday of November, 1868. She was a daughter of Harvey and Amelia (sic.)Isaacs and one of a family of several children. The parents and thebrothers and sisters are all deceased with the exception of one halfbrother and four half sisters. She married Andrew Jackson Lewis inFranklin county, Illinois on the 31st day of October, 1889. SevenChildren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, one of whom, a daughter, RoseElizabeth died in infancy, and the other survive her and are: NewtonLewis of Valier, Illinois; Earl Lewis of Roseburg, Oregon; Mrs. EdnaGulley of Sesser; Mrs. Orbin Dubois and Mrs. Pearl Cutler of Valier andMrs. Nancy Hague of Kennet, Missouri. A step-son, Burley Lewis, ofRoseburg, Oregon whom she reared from infancy, also survives her. Herhusband died in Valier on June 4th 1923. They have lived their entiremarried life in Franklin county, moving to Valier in 1911 where they havesince made their home. While living in Benton, many years ago, Mrs. Lewismade the "Good Confession" and united with the First Baptist church ofBenton where her membership remained throughout the rest of her life. Shewas devoted to her church and so long as her health permitted she wasactive in the church work, helping the membership of that faith in Valierin every loyal way she could although she never moved her membership tothe church in Valier. She was widely and favorably known in the communityin which she lived. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother, and afaithful and devoted friend and neighbor. She has lived her life well andshe will be long remembered for her wise counsel and her faithful serviceto her friends and her family. She had been in frail health for the pastfourteen years. She had given of her strength freely and she graduallyfailed through the years and for the past ten years or more she had beenan invalid. Her mind was clear and active to the end. She was keenlyinterested in those about her and to the well-being of her own inparticular. She bore her suffering with patients and fortitude and wasnever heard to complain. Some two weeks ago she became much worse and shefinally sank into that dreamless sleep that knows no waking this side ofEternity, leaving the immediate family named, 22 grandchildren, six greatgrandchildren, many other relatives and a host of friends who mourn herpassing. She died at her home in Valier at 3:45 P.M. January 18, 1941 atthe age of 72 years, 1 month and 29 days. Her life and the loss of herloved ones and friends have suffered have been best described, perhaps,by the closing verses of a poem written by that greatly loved poet of thehome and fireside, Edgar A. Guest, where he says: "For all her love wasmine to know And rich was I indeed. To her, I knew that I could go Inevery hour of need. Now comes the word that she is dead, The friend Ilove is gone. And I recall the way she said: I'll see you later on: I'llsee you later: oft said she. Oh, brave and steadfast friend, We'll meetagain across the sea At my poor journey's end.
