LEWIS of this city, brief reference to which was made in the columns of the Union yesterday, deserves more than passing notice. She was the daughter of Luman ? and Ann M. NICHOLS, her father a well known and prominent business man in the city of Lockport, who died many years ago. She was born in that city, educated in one of the best educational institutions of the state, grew to womanhood in her native place and was the joy, pride and delight of her parents, and the center of a circle of devoted and admiring friends. She married Mr. LEWIS in 1872 and shortly afterward removed to Rochester, where she has since resided, loved and esteemed by all who know her. Mrs. LEWIS was possessed of a bright, sunny, cheerful disposition, full of life and a-i--tion, charming and attractive in manner and generous sympathetic and kindly in heart and disposition. Her married life was cloudless. Her husband worshipped her. Their thoughts, feelings, hopes and lives blended as in one, and this bereavement to Mr. LEWIS is beyond the power of words to describe. From girlhood she had a strong attachment to the Episcopal Church, and in maturer years she accepted with unchanging faith and trust its doctrines. She has been in failing health for some months but retained her wonted buoyancy of disposition and manner, and her friends could not bring to their belief the thought she would not recover. Her death has almost prostrated her husband, mother, brother and sister, who survive. She leaves in this life and in Lockport an unusually large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will with loving, cordial feeling cherish her memory. Brief services will be held at the house, 61 East avenue, to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The remains will be taken to Lockport and further services held there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the residence of her brother, Mark H. NICHOLS. The interment will be at Glenwood cemetery. * ITEMS IN BRIEF -The dredge Erie is now at Charlotte harbor hard at work about half way between the life-saving station and the ends of the piers. -Nathan LEVI, while driving at the Driving Park yesterday, was thrown from his wagon and severely injured about the back and head.
