Notes (Marriage)

1850 Perkins census:
house 13-13
Lewis, William, age 50, farmer, $2500
Elsey, 55
William O., 19, farmer
Alexander, Albion D., 27, mariner
Alvira, H., 24
Goodwin, Louisa M., 15
Call, Moses, 9
All were born in Maine.

1870 Richmond census:
Elsie Lewis was living with Albion & Elvira Alexander.

These associations are consistent with Alvira/Elvira being the daughter of William & Elsie Lewis, but she could have been Elsie's daughter from an earlier marriage, or some other near relation. 1

William B. Lewis

"One of our aged citizens, William B. Lewis, passed from this life on Thursday last, at the age of eighty-six years.

He will be greatly missed by many friends, who will long remember Uncle William Lewis, and recall his cheerful disposition, his appreciation of kindness, his cordial greeting, and his pleasant smile.

He had a long life, and he retained his faculties to a remarkable degree, able to read to the last. He was tenderly cared for in his last days, he gradually failed, and finally fell asleep in the pleasant home overlooking the waters of the Kennebec, that he always loved.

He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Fred Lilly of Yarmouth, and two sons, William A., and Fred C., both of this town.

Funeral services were held, Sunday, from the home of his son, Fred. Rev. Allan Constantine officiating. Burial took place in the family lot on Swan Island."
