Notes |
- Susan Bruce Womack, daughter of Jane Elizabeth Stone and Vann B. Womack, was born 7 November, 1868, near Danville, Va. Her parents moved across the line into Caswell Co., N. C, where she was brought up and married George N. Lewis 20 November, 1889, and lived in Virginia until 1892, then they moved to Decatur Co., Ga.
Mrs. George N. Lewis is a typical Southern woman, with a cultivated warm heart that goes out to all alike
and views life's changing phases with a kind and forgiving spirit. She possesses that entertaining, social intellect which was proverbial in the early days in Virginia.
"We bow in reverence to a cultivated mind,
We yearn for beauty, art, and wondrous lore.
We emulate the modest and refined.
And still we feel her good, kind heart is more."
George N. Lewis was born in Greenville, Butler Co., Ala., 11 November, 1864, where he lived fifteen years. He moved with his parents to Danville, Va., at the age of twenty-five. He went into the tobacco business in Virginia in 1892, afterward went to Bainbridge, Decatur Co., Ga., where some experimental work in tobacco was being done. He lived there ten years and was very successful. He was then employed by the American Tobacco Company in 1902 to go to Cuba where he spent five years. From there he was transferred to Porto Rico by the same company. His family spent part of their time there, but their home is in Atlanta, Ga., and his children are being educated in the States.
