  Notes	From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of November20, 2010 The spelling of his first name is something of a mystery. Ifind both Lewis and Louis in "official" places: WWI Draft Reg.-unclear writing,Lewis or possibly Louis; WWII Draft Reg.-clear Lewis; Death Record-Lewis; daughter's Marriage Record-Louis; daughter's Death Record-Lewis; each entry in the City Directory-Louis; 1910-1930 census-Louis. I decided to go with Lewis in my family outline. Lewis' death record is now online and also presents amystery - his middle name is recorded as Kenneth (notKing). A strange error. As presumably he completed his ownWWII Draft card, I would go with King and a note re Kenneth. [2]
