Ralph Lewis (1990) "After marriage to Frances Jane Lewis at Louisburg - the ceremony was at the old Lewis family home on Warren Street - they lived at Glace Bay, where Roy was a machinist at the shops of Dominion Coal Company. They moved to Calgary in the fall of 1928 where they lived until after the Great Depression hit in 1929. Roy had developed severe asthma and was unable to continue working, a problem he had the rest of his days. They returned to Cape Breton - with two sons - and lived in Westmount a short while, then moved to Union Street in Sydney. In September 1932 they moved to Louisburg to live in the old home with her father Captain W.W. Lewis." "In October 1934 they took over the Dundonald Inn - the former home of the late Dr. Morrison, and ran it as a hotel business. In 1943 during the war, the inn was taken over by the Navy for accommodation of Naval Staff operating out of the Port of Louisburg. The Ingraham family then moved back to the old Lewis home to live with and care for W.W. Lewis until his death in October 1946. During the war, Roy worked in Halifax at Nova Scotia Technical College as an instructor. In 1946 the family moved back to the Dundolald Inn and resumed business until it was sold in 1950 - when they again went back to the old home - this time until Roy died in December 1952."
