I believe the father of my friend was .. Horace Osborn LEWIS, probably born between 1910 and 1920 in MA. And, his grandfather might have been Horace A.. LEWIS, b~1880 in MA. I've only been finding out about this family for a week, so I can't go back farther than that, yet. But, there might have been a Horace E. LEWIS in the family. An FYI is that the 1900 census has a probable widow, Mrs. Josephine T. LEWIS, 50, living in Arlington, MA. With her is a son, Horace A. LEWIS, 22, and a son, Edward C. LEWIS, 20, and a daughter, Ida F. LEWIS, 11. .. And, on-line I saw a birth for Horace A. LEWIS in July 1878 in Arlington, MA. And the parents were listed as Horace E. LEWIS and Jorier Fessenden LEWIS. And, a Horace A. LEWIS was buried in Arlington, MA, in 1952. An on-line query (was it this discussion?) mentioned someone looking for a "cousin," Horace A. LEWIS, b1878. His father, as stated, was Horace E. LEWIS, and his mother, as stated, was Joanna Tyler Fessenden LEWIS. He had a brother, Edward, and 2 sisters, Ida and Georgia. Same query from ..2004 .. said Horace Albert LEWIS married Sarah L. AUSTIN. And, they had 2 children, one being Samuel Austin LEWIS, b~1910. Samuel's wife was Elizabeth / Betty OSBORNE (sp?). And, on-line over the weekend, I found the 1940 census mentioning: Horace O. LEWIS, 30, living in Somerville, MA. (next to Arlington, MA). His wife was listed as Ida LEWIS, 30, and 3 children were mentioned: daughter, Judith, 3, and his father, Horace A. LEWIS, 61, and his brother, Samuel A. LEWIS, 24, were living with them. This seems to be my friend's family, and possibly they moved to Arlington ~1945. I'm told they had 2 daughters and one son. The census states that Horace O. LEWIS was born ~1910. And, the couple formerly lived in Plymouth County, MA. Does any of this look familiar to anyone? Betty (near Lowell, MA) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
