Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial Sketch of Mrs. Richard H. Lewis
To delineate a character so rare and beautiful, and to put on record a few of the tributes which her death called forth, seem now the last grateful service we can do her, and the only means by which those who shall hereafter share the charity devoted to her memory can learn what she was.
Cornelia viola, eldest child of Hon. Kemp P. And Martha A. Battle, was born in Raleigh, N. C., January 14, 1857. She was married to Dr. Richard H. Lewis, of Raleigh, February 13, 1877, became the mother of four children, all of whom survived her, and died October 13, 1886.
This brief record conveys the chief incidents of woman's life - birth, marriage, motherhood, anddeath; these comprise the ordinary round of her important and sacred duties and ties, and there is seldom room for her to do more than so to fill these as to hear the Well done at last.
