Lewis, Delancey B. ( - Sep 1899)
Under the caption "Well Known Seattle Business Man Passes Away
After a Brief Illness", the Post-Intelligencer, of Seattle, tells
of the death of D. B. Lewis of that city. The wife of the deceased
was a former Neillsville, Clark County lady, Ella E. Garvin, and
the following account of his death will be of interest to many
readers of this paper.
"Delancey B. Lewis, a well known citizen of Seattle, died at his
residence, 510 Spring St., yesterday. He had been ill but a few
days, and his condition was not considered at all serious. His
death came almost without warning.
Mr. Lews was the son of Rev. Ammie M. and Hannah Heath Lewis. He
was a native of Michigan and came to this state from Menomonie,
Wis., nine years ago, engaging in the mercantile business in Skagit
county. Seven years ago he was married to Miss Ella E. Garvin, of
Neillsville, Clark County, Wis., and three children are the result
of this union.
For the past five years Mr. Lewis has been managing foreman for
Ainsworth Dunn.
Mr. Lewis was a communicant of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, a
member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and of Columbia Lodge, No.
2, Ancient Order of United Workman. He was a man universally
esteemed by all who knew him, and his untimely death will be
regretted by a large circle of friends.
The funeral services will be from St. Mark's Church, on Saturday
morning next, and will be conducted by Rev. J. P. D. Llwyd,
assisted by H. H. Gowen. Ritualistic services of the A.O.U.W. will
be held at the cemetery, following the regular services of the
church."
