Memorable Moments & Stories

Anecdote: in Jun 1910, at The Olympus, Olympia, Thurston County, Washington^G, Lee Clare Lewis (18 years old) 1910 Olympia High School Yearbook.
Anecdote: between 17 Jun 1917 and 30 Jul 1918, Lee Clare Lewis and Haldora Hjalmfridur Sumarlidason Lee and Dora had known each other for many years. When the war broke out in France, Lee left his lucrative and promising job in Walla Walla, Washington and joined the Army. This undoubtedly impacted their decision to move forward any marriage plans that they had. They were married in Tacoma at the Plymouth Congregational church on Sunday, 17 Jun 1917. There was a wedding dinner following the ceremony at a Tacoma hotel.

The couple met up with Lee's college friend, Roger Morse of Vancouver, who had been married in Sumner the same day to Miss Frances Riggs. The newly married couples then proceeded to Portland and on a two weeks camping trip into the mountains. Upon their return both Lee and Roger were to report to Fort Leavenworth on July 15, where they would receive commissions as second lieutenants in the regular army.

Apparently plans changed. Lee was formally given his commission on 23 Aug 1917 and departed Olympia for Fort Leavenworth on 3 Sep 1917. They had been married 2 months and 17 days (only 78 dyas total together.)

Lee was subsequently promoted to 1^st Lieutenant in Mar 1918. He was scheduled to sail to France via the RMS Moldavia, a British passenger steamship launched on 28 Mar 1903 and served as a Royal Navy armed merchant cruiser. However, Lee was put on a different ship a couple of days later. The RMS Moldavia was sunk by a single torpedo from a German submarine on 23 May 1918. Fifty-five soldiers on-board lost their lives as a result. Ray arrived in France on 25 May 1918.

Just thirteen months and thirteen days after their marriage, and only two months and five days after arriving in France, his life and their marriage were abruptly ended. She went on to become a highly regarded college professor, author and held several important positions in both State and Federal education departments. She never remarried.^9,14
Other: on Thursday, 29 Aug 1918, Lee Clare Lewis on a "World War I Casualties of American Army Overseas" "Late List" Lee is reported as having died of wounds reported on this date.¹⁵
Bio: at age 27, on Wednesday, 16 Apr 1919, "Over, fellows, the Germans. See, they are beaten." Lee C. Lewis.

“The company did advance, but it lost the most valiant soldier a company could boast of. He was twice wounded, once while rushing forward, and again before he could be taken off the field.
There are brave hearts, but it's a brave heart, indeed, that can face a withering fire and charge with what's left of a company whose command has twice been killed or wounded.”

Excerpted from: The Olympia Daily Recorder, Olympia, WA 16 Apr 1919. A remarkable first-hand account of the death of Lee Clare Lewis during battle.

Lee Lewis came from a close-knit family. His father, Fredrick W. Lewis, had attended college in Michigan in the early 1880s at Hillsdale College. Later he attended Michigan Teacher’s Institute. His father later became a school teacher and moved with his family to the frontier in Kansas in 1885. Following the death of his father, Glode D. Lewis, in 1901, Fred W. Lewis moved his family from Kansas to Washington State in 1903. There Fred became active in the politically progressive young Grange movement. Within a short time he made a name for himself and assumed the powerful position of Secretary of the Grange for Washington State. Fred held that position until his death in 1937.

Lee received a good education and learned the valuable lessons of hard labor. He graduated from the Olympia High School and subsequently studied and graduated from the Washington State College in Pullman, WA in June 1916. Then as he was preparing to embark on his life as an adult, he was swept into the war in Europe which was later dubbed, The Great War or The War to End All Wars. On 15 May 1917 he joined the U.S. Army to fulfill his patriotic duties.

One year later, on 25 May 1918 he arrived in France with the 4^th Division. On 30 July 1918, after his company commander and 2^nd in command had been both killed in action, he took up the mantle and led his troops into battle. He died that same day from a shell that exploded. The young Lieutenant was posthumously promoted to Captain.

Lee had married his college sweetheart, Dora Sumarlidason, on 17 June 1917. They both knew that he would soon be departing for the war. They spent a few weeks together and on 3 September 1917 he left his bride behind and travelled to Fort Leavenworth to begin his military training.

By all accounts Lee was a conscientious and hardworking individual. He had the luxury of a loving family and loving wife. His ancestors had fought in every major American battle from the Revolutionary War on down to the conflict that ended his life. Clearly there was a strong sense of community and a sincere dedication to helping his fellow man.

Losing his life at such a young age, 26, cut short a most promising and hopeful future. One can only speculate on the great things that he may have been able to accomplish.

The words he spoke to his comrades to urge them forward turned out to be prophetic. The War to End All Wars ended on 11 November 1918, just 3 months and 12 days after Lee C. Lewis gave his life.¹⁶

Memorable Moments & Stories

Bio: is here .⁴
Anecdote: between 17 Jun 1917 and 30 Jul 1918, Lee Clare Lewis and Haldora Hjalmfridur Sumarlidason Lee and Dora had known each other for many years. When the war broke out in France, Lee left his lucrative and promising job in Walla Walla, Washington and joined the Army. This undoubtedly impacted their decision to move forward any marriage plans that they had. They were married in Tacoma at the Plymouth Congregational church on Sunday, 17 Jun 1917. There was a wedding dinner following the ceremony at a Tacoma hotel.

The couple met up with Lee's college friend, Roger Morse of Vancouver, who had been married in Sumner the same day to Miss Frances Riggs. The newly married couples then proceeded to Portland and on a two weeks camping trip into the mountains. Upon their return both Lee and Roger were to report to Fort Leavenworth on July 15, where they would receive commissions as second lieutenants in the regular army.

Apparently plans changed. Lee was formally given his commission on 23 Aug 1917 and departed Olympia for Fort Leavenworth on 3 Sep 1917. They had been married 2 months and 17 days (only 78 dyas total together.)

Lee was subsequently promoted to 1^st Lieutenant in Mar 1918. He was scheduled to sail to France via the RMS Moldavia, a British passenger steamship launched on 28 Mar 1903 and served as a Royal Navy armed merchant cruiser. However, Lee was put on a different ship a couple of days later. The RMS Moldavia was sunk by a single torpedo from a German submarine on 23 May 1918. Fifty-five soldiers on-board lost their lives as a result. Ray arrived in France on 25 May 1918.

Just thirteen months and thirteen days after their marriage, and only two months and five days after arriving in France, his life and their marriage were abruptly ended. She went on to become a highly regarded college professor, author and held several important positions in both State and Federal education departments. She never remarried.^6,10
Anecdote: circa 1929, at Olympia, Thurston County, Washington^G, Haldora Hjalmfridur Sumarlidason and Zoa Lee Lewis Dodi received a Christmas card with a gift included from her Auntie Dora.¹¹

Memorable Moments & Stories

Anecdote: on Thursday, 19 Apr 1906, at Mount Pleasant, Isabella County, Michigan^G, Aletha Maize Mercer and Rose May Robison (23 years old) made the arduous journey from Mount Pleasant, MI to join Otto in Drain, OR. Rose and her infant daughter, Aletha, moved West in April 1906 to reunite with Otto. They traveled by train from Mount Pleasant, Ohio to Sacramento, California, a distance of nearly 2,500 miles. They arrived in Sacramento on the day after the great earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco.

Afterwards, Rose spoke of the utter confusion in Sacramento. People were trying to get trains to the East. Rose and Aletha did not have any trouble finding a train north to Drain, Oregon. Rose and Aletha arrived in Drain two days later on 21 Apr 1906 where just nine days later, Aletha would celebrate her 1^st birthday.

Meanwhile, Otto had found a place to live in a hotel in Drain, Oregon. The small family lived together in the hotel for nearly a year. Subsequently they lived in various places in Oregon and finally moved to Hillsboro.

Six years later in 1912, Otto found work at a mill in Maytown, Washington.The family moved once again. In 1935, after the mill at Maytown burned, they moved once more back to Oregon. This time they settled in Medford. They returned to Washington in 1944 and resided in South Tumwater.¹¹
Anecdote: on Wednesday, 7 Dec 1921, at Maytown, Thurston County, Washington^G, Aletha Maize Mercer (16 years old) was issued a special permit to "operate a motor vehicle for the transportation of persons for hire." Lee needed a commercial driver license in order to drive a school bus from Maytown to the Olympia High School. She had a very strong desire to attend (the much more urban) Olympia High School instead of the much closer (and much more rural) Tenino High School. She related stories about driving that old school bus that did not even have a windshield defroster. She said that during the winter she had to suck on pennies and get them warm enough to then place them on the windshield to thaw a very small portion for her to look out. She was a determined young woman.

Father*

Ray Frisbee Lewis^1,2 B: 1 Apr 1897, D: 20 Feb 1928

Mother*

Aletha Maize Mercer² B: 30 Apr 1905, D: 20 Apr 1976

Step-father

Primary Birth & Death

Born: Elsie Dora Lewis was born on Thursday, 15 Jan 1925, at Saint Peter Hospital, 420 Sherman Street SW, Olympia, Thurston County, Washington^G.^3,2

'Non-primary' Vitals

Elsie Dora Lewis was the daughter of: Ray Frisbee Lewis and Aletha Maize Mercer.^2,1

Alias(es)

Name-Variation: At her birth, she was named "Elsie Dora." Her first name, Elsie, was in honor of her father's brother, Lee Clare Lewis. He was a war hero and a very popular young man in the community. His family and friends frequently referred to him by his nickname (which was comprised of his initials), "LC." Thus Elsie was named after her Uncle Lee Clare using his nickname. Her middle name came from Lee Clare's wife, Dora. Lee Clare's widow's birth name was Haldora Hjalmfridur Sumarlidason. Her Icelandic name was very difficult for most Americans to pronounce therefore she used her nickname, Dora. So, technically Elsie's first name is the phoenetic nickname for her Uncle and her middle name is the nickname for her Aunt. Although her Uncle, Lee Clare Lewis, died nearly 6½ years before she was born, her Aunt, Dora (née Sumarlidason) Lewis was a continual positive influence in Elsie's life for the remainder of Dora's life.¹
Nick-Name: her nickname was "Doa" her little sister, as a young child, could not pronounce Elsie Dora so she resorted to this shortened version and it stuck for much of Elsie's childhood.¹
Name-Variation: as of Thursday, 19 Sep 1929, she used the surname of Brostrom. She continued to use the surname Brostrom until she was married on 6 Jun 1943.¹
Name-Married: on Sunday, 6 Jun 1943, her married name became Mrs. Wagner (née Lewis).

Union(s)

Wood County Sentinel, 3 Feb 1887.⁸
Her obituary appeared on Thursday, 10 Feb 1887, in The Wood County Sentinel, Wood County, Ohio^G, and read:
Obituary
Mermill, February 1. - We laid away in the silent grave the lifeless body of another of Wood county's pioneers, Mrs Harriet Mercer, in her 66th year. She was a daughter of Dr C. Rice, who will be remember by the oldest settlers of this county as the doctor who died from a scratch on a finger received while he was examining the lifeless body of Mr Harris.

Deceased was the faithful, kind wife of Abram Mercer for 46 years, and now as he goes on down the hillside of life he will miss her everywhere. Mrs Mercer, or as she was more familiarly called, Aunt Harriet, was a kind, loving friend and for several years had been afflicted with slow consumption. This winter her husband was very sick for some weeks, which bore heavily upon her, and on the 26th of January, she took a chill and gradually failed until the morning of the 31st, when upon being carefully raised to take a sup of coffee, her hands fell down and she said, "I am almost gone - lay me down," and without a struggle she passed away, sweetly and peacefully.

She was the mother of James Mercer, Mrs C. Lashuway, Charles A., Porterfield, Marion and Clinton B. Mercer, and Mrs I McIntyre, who deeply mourn the loss of a good mother.

Aunt Harriet united with the Disciple Church at this place upon its first organization many years ago, and was an earnest, faithful member until her death, and as such will be greatly missed. May the thoughts and hope of that sweet bye and bye be a consolation to all of her dear friends.

The funeral services were conducted by Brother Richardson of the Methodist order, from Toledo, who preached a very excellent sermon and gave a consolation, taking for his test, Isaiah, 3-10. R.M.M.
