Arden L. Lewis, son of Walter H. and Linial Lawton Lewis, was born at North Loup, Neb., February 11, 1900, and died at Plainfield, N. J., October 26, 1929.
When he was yet a baby his family moved to Dodge Center, Minn., where he spent his boyhood and early young manhood. He was graduated from Milton College in 1926. Two years ago he came to Plainfield where he has been employed in the Publishing House of the American Sabbath Tract Society.
July 14 of this year he was united in marriage to Miss Dena Davis, who like her husband was born in North Loup, Neb, is a graduate of Milton College, and is an employee of the American Sabbath Tract Society.
Arden was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Dodge Center, Minn., and during his residence in Plainfield has been a member of the choir of the Plainfield Seventh Day Baptist Church. He was a lover of music and was possessed of more than ordinary musical talent. Arden was a clean, wholesome young man, having a mind of fine quality, and a strong, sturdy character. There was no dross in his life. He rang true always. He loved his work, made good on his job, and had the respect of his employers and of those with whom he worked. The young wife so early bereft of her life companion has the deepest sympathy of the Plainfield church and friends.
Services were held at the Plainfield parsonage, conducted by pastor A. J. C. Bond assisted by Rev. Theo J. Van Horn, Arden's former pastor at Dodge Center. A mixed quartet from the choir in which Arden has sung for two years sang two of his favorite hymns, "Strong Son of God, Immortal Love" and "Our God, our help in ages past." The sorrowing wife accompanied the mortal remains of her loved one back to his boyhood home for burial.
A. J. C. B.
