Lewis was the son of Henry H. and Mary M. {Smith} Clark, being descended on his father's side from a family known to be living in Greenland, New Hampshire in the late 18th century. He left Canada for Hudson, Massachusetts, where he met his wife Sarah Louise Tyler and worked as a trainer of race horses. The couple had two sons, Carl A. and Fred L. Clark. Sadly, Lewis succumbed to typhoid fever in his 37th year. He had been active in the local Knights of Pythias Lodge No. 66 and, as indicated by the outpouring of grief, was well-liked. The Lodge issued a Resolution honoring Lewis at his passing. A nephew, Harry Edwin Lewis, of Providence wrote a poignant poem entitled 'In Memoriam' to honor his uncle.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
