Luke Lewis (retired), Curryville, a son of Jesse and Rhoda Lewis, was born September 26, 1810, in Shelby county Kentucky. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Ann Peavy, in January, 1832, and immigrated to Missouri this same year with three elder brothers John, Jesse, and Samuel, who were among the pioneers of Spencer township, Of the four our subject is the only one now living. In 1835 he moved to Munroe county, where he lived until 1878, when he returned to Pike county, to spend the balance of his days in Curryville. He lost his wife in May, 1863, and again married. He lost his second wife in 1876, and is now living with his third wife. By his union with his first wife he had six children, who lived to be grown; five are still living. He reared his family on a farm, and at a day when educational facilities were limited, but he managed to give his children a superior education. Luke Lewis is a man of good judgment and has always been remarkable for his firmness through life. He has always been honored and respected by all who knew him. He united with the neighboring Baptist Church in 1841, and in 1842 he was ordained deacon of the church, which office he has since held.
