Lewis was cheated of a college education because his mother was too pained at the idea of his leaving home, so he became a farmer. After his marriage to Emma, they moved to Muscatine, where he became a superintendant of something at the Quaker Oats mill. From there they moved to Rock Island, Illinois, and eventually went to live with their daughter Blanche in Evanston, Illinois.
Lewis was a member of the Odd Fellows. He was a Mason, belonging to the Blue Lodge and Knights Templar. And in his later years he was a deacon in the Baptist church.
