    Notes:


    [levi_chapman_lewis.ged]

    Joshua Shay Lewis (first cousin of Hiram Lewis)... "entered the Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pa, remaining there three years (this is where he met his wife).... When twenty-fours years old he began preaching, his inspiration to become a clergyman coming to him when he was a little child. It was from hearing Rev. C. W. Giddings asking God's blessing for each individual member of his father's family, ending with himself, and the events of that day were vividly impressed upon his memory. Although devoting considerable time to preaching Mr. Lewis continued his farming operations, enlarging his possessions at different times, being the owner of 17 different pieces of land at different times in the vicinity, all of which he has since disposed of.... He preached at Stoddardsville, Pennsylvania... Hyde Park, Simpson Street Church... and nine different charges along the Susquehanna River.. at Factoryville, Meshoppen. He was present and participated in the dedication of the Meshoppen Methodist Church, December 1905... He has been president of the Dimock Camp Meeting Association, serving in that capacity for 27 years and was again elected in 1905 for another year."
