ROY LEWIS DEAD
Brilliant Career is Cut Short by Dread Tuberculosis.

Word was received here Monday that Roy Lewis had passed away at the home of his parents at Wilmont on Sunday. His death, although not unexpected, was nevertheless received with regret by his many friends in this city. A few months since he and his young wife returned from the west, where they had gone in search of health, but instead of finding relief from the dread tuberculosis with which he was afflicted, his condition became more serious and his wife was taken down with typhoid fever and has been ill at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Montgomery, in this city, and has just recently recovered sufficiently to be about again. The deceased was a bright young attorney, with a bright future before him, but fate decreed that his life be cut short. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were married only last June and the sympathy of all is extended to the young wife, so deeply bereaved after such a short matrimonial life.

The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon from the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Montgomery of this city, Rev. Wilder conducting the services at the house and Rev. d'Argent, of Reading, was in charge of the services at the grave.
