    3. Hello, It was probably 3 years ago when I started gathering information on 13 LEWIS siblings growing up in Stoneham, and then starting to type up a report on them. Each year I post queries and do more searching trying to find more information and try to find descendants. With a little luck, I have found a descendant of 6 of the siblings, and I have indirect contact with a descendant of a 7th. Discounting my grandfather, I have 4 siblings that I need more information on. I also discount the oldest, "Will" LEWIS in Lynn as his only child, a daughter never had children. In order of birth, I need help with: Edward Charles LEWIS, b1883 MA. In 1910, he married Maud Von DREATHEN in Stoneham. They might have had a child, son, Ernest LEWIS, 5 in 1920. But my sister found a note that he had a son, Edward, and either he or the family moved to CA. That's about all I know about him. Francis Lester LEWIS, b1887 MA. "Frank" seems to have married a woman, named "Bessie." They might have had 2 children, Dorothy, and John around 1910. But, Frank died of a heart condition around 1913 (age 26). There are other Francis or Frank LEWIS' in census reports, so I don't know if one of them was this Frank. And, I don't know what happened to his widow, Mrs. Bessie (?) LEWIS, and her 2 young children. Henrietta "Etta" LEWIS, b1889 MA married William HUBER. They lived in Cambridge, and William was in the Army when they first married and he lived on the "Base." In 1910 they had an infant son, William H. HUBER, and they lived in Boston. In 1920, they had 2 more children, Henrietta HUBER, 8, and John S. HUBER, 6. "Etta" seems to have remained close to her HUBER in-laws, but I don't know where they lived after 1910. (I haven't asked about the 1930.) Isabella Burrows LEWIS was born 1890 MA and "Bella" married William PHELAN. I think this couple also lived in Lynn. They might have had 4 children, but possibly their first died as an infant. The 1920 census had William and "Bella" in Lynn with an infant daughter, Dorothy PHELAN. I don't know if it was this baby who died, as someone told me that the 1930 census had William living in Lynn as a widower, and he had a daughter, Laura PHELAN, 9, a daughter, Gertrude PHELAN, 7, and a son, William, 5. I had already known that "Bella" had died in childbirth with her 3rd child. (Possibly the 3rd living child.) (I don't know if this is the same family.) .. Two of the "cousins" wrote to me last week complaining that I had never sent them a copy of the "LEWIS report" I had somewhat finished last summer. So, I spent a lot of time this week making copies of my report and mailing out to 6 of the "cousins." But, I've felt badly since last summer that I've never found the time to "add" more information, or correct what information I had. So, IF I can find more information, I will send that out to them during March. The 13 children were the parents of John "Stanley" and Mary Eliza beth (CORKILL) LEWIS, who arrived in Stoneham ~1881 and lived there until they both died in 1923 and 1924. The other children were: Mrs. Mary "May" GREEN in Saugus, also with many children. Mrs. Emily WING in Melrose with 3 children. Arthur LEWIS who moved to Sandwich, NH, and Laconia, NH, and had several children. Mrs. Blanche JOYCE lived in Winchester and had several children. Mrs. Helen TALMADGE married a man from NJ and lived there for a few years before moving to Gardena, CA; she had a few children. Silas Dean LEWIS had 3 children with his first wife; they divorced and both remarried. "Sy" had 4 step-children with the 2nd wife and 4 step-children with a 3rd wife. He had moved to both CT and then Springfield. Mrs. Louise CHASE lived in Winchester and had several children. John S. LEWIS moved to Gardena, CA, after his parents' deaths, and married out there and had several children. Betty (near Lowell, MA)
