Mrs. Lucy P. Lewis was born in Hopkinton, R. I., Nov. 27, 1816, and died in Alfred, N. Y., Feb. 17, 1902. She with her husband, Alfred Lewis, moved to Alfred in the Spring of 1841. To them were born four sons, two of whom survive. Dr. Daniel, of New York City, and Orville, of Brooklyn. She experienced religion when eleven years of age, but as none spoke to her about being baptized, she was not received into the church until she was about eighteen. Her membership was later transferred from Hopkinton to the First Alfred church, where it has since remained. "Aunt Lucy" was another of the grand pioneer women. She and "Aunt Samantha" Potter both died in their 86th year, within six weeks of each other, after having been lifelong friends. "Aunt Lucy" was a woman or rare intelligence, strong character and sweet disposition, a worthy scion of the rugged Rhode Island stock. She had a happy, cheerful spirit which looked on the bright side and was hopeful for the best. She was a good mother, and her home offered a hospitable welcome to many a student in earlier days. She dearly loved the church of God, and one of our treasures is a beautiful letter written by her for the last covenant meeting. Farewell services at the church February 19, 1902, conducted by Pastor Randolph, assisted by Elder Gamble. L. C. R.
