The Reverend Hy. Lewis

The Lewis family arrived in Killarney about July 1st, 1891.  The Reverend Hy. Lewis came from Newfoundland, to be Pastor of the Methodist Church.  There were six children; born at Killarney were two more sons, Charlie and Llewellyn.  We children loved the lake.  Mother thought no one would grow flowers with the beauty of the wild ones.  Father drove many hundred miles with Old Flirt, white mare, winter in the bitter cold weather; summer with the heat and beauty of the prairie.  Three years at Killarney were outstanding in the life of the Lewis family.
