AT HENRY MOORE'S FARM.
J. P. LEWIS.
TT is now our mission to give the biography of one of Atchison county's most distinguished citi. zens, namely: Hon. John Perry Lewis, He first saw the light of day at Montrose, Lee county- Iowa, on March 10th, 1845. He is a son of John Lewis, a native of the state of New York, and Lydia M. (Snow) Lewis, a native of the state of Vermont. His parents removed from Iowa to Atchison county, Missouri, in his seventh year, locating in Irish Grove. Residing there two years they located on what is now known as the Lewis homestead, five miles south of Rock Port. On that farm the boyhood of the subject of this sketch was passed, and here he got the rudiments of his education in the primitive country school. He also taught several terms of district school, until he earned money sufficient to attend, for a time, Tabor College, in Iowa, and the State University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. From the law department of the latter institution he graduated in the class of 867. After teaching school one year he was admitted to the bar in Rock Port, by Judge Heren, the then Judge of the Circuit Court. and here he has been practicing law ever since. In his chosen profession he has attained a prominence, distinction and reputation that makes him known, not only throughout the state of Missouri but in neighboring states as well. He has been financially successful in his practice as well as otherwise. He continually has cases in all courts. While he makes a specialty of real estate and equity law and examines most of the abstracts of title in the changes of ownership of land in the county, he has participated in many important criminal cases, among them being the defense of John Morrow, T. B. Franklin and Caleb Redding, in cases in which they were charged with murder. He was also counsel in the case of Cooley vs. Golden, involving title to river-bed lands, and which resulted in bringing such lands to the school funds of Missouri counties. He subsequently prepared a bill which became the law under which the counties of the state have acquired such lands. At present Mr. Lewis is Prosecuting Attorney of Atchison county, having been complimented with the nomina- tion by the Republicans of the county in convention assembled and elected in November, 1904, by a majority of over 700 above his party vote. In the year 1872 he was elected Representative of Atchison county, in the 27th General Assembly; for twenty-five years he was a director of the Rock Port school board; was Mayor of Rock Port one term and a member of the Board of Aldermen several terms: has, for several years, been President of the Rock Port, Langdon & Northern Railway Co .; is a member of the Executive Committee of the Rock Port Lecture Congress, and, withal, a public movement of any nature in town or county in which Mr. Lewis is not interested is incomplete.
On Feb. 6th, 1870, Mr. Lewis was united in marriage with Miss Caroline VanMeter, daughter of John and Ethelinda VanMeter, and second in a family of nine children. She was born in Hancock ( Continued on page 320 )

His father, the pioneer physician, was educated, professionally, at Louisville Medical College, and, withal, was a man of strong character. Judge Lorin Lewis, who assisted in the defense of the ill-fated Czolgosh, the assassin of President MeKinley, was a cousin of his father. His mother's brother, Zerrubabbel Snow, was the first Judge of Utah Territory, appointed by President Fillmore. Judge Snow was also a missionary to Australia eight years. Another brother, Erastus, was President of the Southern Mission of the Mormon church, and stood next to Brigham Young. He was also missionary to Den- mark eight years and translated the Book of Mormon in the Danish language. Another of her broth- ers, Willard, also a missionary, was buried in the North Sea while en route from Denmark to England.

It is situated on six lots, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis own the following real estate: A farm of 160 acres on the Missouri bottom, a fine farm of 160 acres near Westboro and 560 acres of land in Valley county, Nebraska. Mr. Lewis also owns a two-story brick business house in Rock Port, in size 20x60 feet. In this building he has a well-appointed law office, in which is a splendid law library. He also owns two tenant houses in Rock Port.
