Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. Reading the August Conrad C. Lewis as the same man rests on the matching name and initials; the August item does not name his family. The obituary's "of Berryville" may apply to all the siblings or only the last. No kinship record is made.
