=====
Lewis had little money and no formal education, only what his mother could teach him. He worked for the Bread Loaf Inn in Ripton as a youth. The Bread Loaf Inn had a large stable and they bread Morgan horses. When he was about 19 years old he had saved enough money to buy 200 acres of land in Ripton on the road to South Lincoln. Lewis and Sarah lived in a rough wooden cabin that he built on the property. There are several pictures posted of that first rough cut wooden cabin he built as well a 2 pages entry from his diary listing the work on his home.
Lewis was a big man who continued to work hard on the farm into his 70's. Over the years he made a living potato farming, collecting maple syrup and some dairy farming.
By 1888 he had 500 acres in South Lincoln, down the valley a few miles north of his old log cabin. He purchased a house next to the river for Ada and his daughters. Lewis and Ada had four children together.
