Lewis - On June 16, at Alfred street, Lewis Lewis, aged 64 years

The Late Mr L. L. Lewis - We greatly regret to learn of the death at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, of Mr L. L. Lewis, so long and well known in Blenheim and Picton. Mr Lewis came to Marlborough in 1860, and began running a coach between here and Picton as early as the following year, at which date the roads were as yet in an unformed condition. Nothing could have exceeded his kindness and attention to passengers. He had many a narrow escape from flood. Three different times, in crossing the approaches to the Opawa river when it was in a swollen state, he and the coach and all were washed down stream, and brought up each time by a willow standing in the stream, that was then called Lewis' Willow. On the third of these occasions he was only rescued by the cuorageous (sic) conduct of Mr Kissling, the Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, who swam out to him, and by putting a rope round the pole of the coach enabled it to be dragged ashore. Mr Lewis frequently made the journey to and fro twice in a day, until he finally gave up the road on the opening of the railway. During the whole time he had the Picton coach he carried on the dancing classes with which his name has been associated up to the time of his decease. He was generally known as a caterer at suppers, dances, and so forth, and will be missed by a large numbers of persons, both adults and juveniles. He leaves a family of seven children, for whom we are sorry to say there is no provision. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon

The Funeral of the Late Mr L Lewis.
- The remains of the late Mr Lewis were interred last Saturday afternoon. The coffin was preceded to the grave by the Ven. Archdeacon Butt. Mr Lewis being a Jew, the Archdeacon did not read the English Church burial service, but confined himself to reading from the Psalms some of those beautiful passages having reference to the brief and troubled character of human life, and to offering up a short prayer for the restoration of Israel. Mr Lewis was always fond of flowers, and his three children each threw a bouquet into the grave at the conclusion of the simple ceremony. The age of the deceased was stated on the coffin-plate to be 67. R.I.P.
