PROMINENT FARMER DIESMr. Waller Holladay Lewis Dies Suddenly From Heart DiseaseOn Thursday morning Mr. Waller Holladay Lewis, of Woodlake, this county, died suddenly of heart disease, aged 63 years.Mr. Lewis was in the city on Wednesday, and was in his usual health, which, however, had not been very robust for several years, owing to heart trouble. On the morning of his death he had arisen as usual and was about his duties, when the "silver cord was loosened and the golden bowl broken."Mr. Lewis was the third son of Rev. Cadwallader Lewis, and was born and reared in this county, where he has lived the whole of his upright, useful and honorable life. He was educated at the classical school of his grandfather, the late Mr. John Lewis, of Llangollen, afterwards graduating at Georgetown College, in 1862.After his graduation, Mr. Lewis became a farmer and resided with his father until the latter's death. Since then he and his brother, Mr. W.J. Lewis, have been doing business as farmers and breeders of fine horses, under the firm name of W.J. & W.H. Lewis.Several years ago Mr. Lewis purchased the farm of Mr. John H. Fraier, and had made that place his home since.Some ten years ago he was married to Miss Elodie Helm, daughter of the late Gen. Ben Hardin Helm and wife, who survives him.Mr. Lewis was a devout Christian, a member and deacon of the Providence Baptist Church, at Woodlake. He was one of the most earnest and consistent members of that church, which will be sadly crippled by his death.As a man, a brother, a husband and a citizen, Mr. Lewis measured up to the very highest standard. He was universally respected and honored, by all who knew him, for his integrity of character and uprightness of life. The highest encomium that we can pay him (which is his due), is that "he was an honest man."He leaves his wife, two brothers (William J. and Dr. John A. Lewis), and one sister (Miss Mary P. Lewis), and a large circle of relatives and friends, scattered throughout the whole South, who will be saddened by the death of this good man.The funeral services will be conducted from the Providence Church this morning at 10:30 o'clock, by his pastor, Rev. A. Paul Bagby, assisted by Rev. A.S. Alderman, and the remains will be laid to rest in the family lot in our cemetery.
