Person:Lyttleton Lewis (1)

In its long record of the events that have taken place in this county for more than a century this paper has never had to chronicle a sadder death than that of young Lyttleyon Lewis on last Sunday Aug 18 The tragic news came as a overpowering shock to his many relatives and friends in this town, his birthplace and home up through his boyhood and in this county where he was so universally beloved. He passed away that afternoon as he was being taken to a hospital in Jackson for treatment after spending week at Brown's Wells where his physician had sent him for a rest cure and recuperation from an illness caused by overwork,. His remains were brought here the following day for funeral services conducted by Rev G P McKeown at the Woodville Methodist church of which he has been a member since childhood. They were laid to rest in the family lot in Evergreen Cemetery beneath a covering of beautiful flowers in the presence of a large crowd that assembled to show their affection and do honor to this fine young man who numbed his friends almost by his acquaintances. Lyttleton Jr., a member of a family that has been prominent in the history of this section for over a hundred years, was born on Aug 7 1905, so he had just attained his thirtieth birthday and the prime of his young manhood. He was the older son of Mr Lyttleton Lewis, the clerk of the chancery court of this county and of Mrs Lewis. After graduation at the high school here, he secured work at a New Orleans bank, then later with a large tire concern there, so he made his home in that city until a year ago when his company promoted him to the management of a branch office in Jackson which responsible position he was holding at the time of his death. He is survived by his father and mother , two sisters Misses Elizabeth and Mary Lewis all of Woodville and a brother Mr Sydney M. Lewis of New York.
