LEWICK -- Alvin B. LEWICK
Lincoln Sentinel-Republican, May 12, 1988
--- Alvin B. LEWICK, son of John and Emma Kerr LEWICK,
was born Sept. 20, 1896, in the Pleasant Valley
neighborhood and passed away Friday, May 6, 1988, in
the Mid American Nursing Center at the age of 91
years, 7 months and 16 days.

Alvin, or A.B. as he was known to many, attended the
Pleasant Valley school and Lincoln High School. As a
teenager he worked in the Harry Hall Drug Store. On
Aug. 3, 1916, Alvin and Emma WALTERS were united in
marriage. They farmed throughout their working lives,
and while they were never considered "big" farmers,
Alvin provided for his wife and six children through
determined effort and working long hours. When he
wasn't tending the fields, Alvin worked as a mechanic,
first for Joe Lyons, then a number of years at the
Rhudy Garage and finally at Quartzite for a while. In
later years Alvin worked as a Farm Bureau insurance
agent in addition to farming. As a role model for his
children, the two qualities that were always clear
were his ability to work hard and his honesty in
dealing with others.

Active in civic affairs, Alvin belonged to the Lions
Club, the Lincoln Lodge 154 AF and AM, and the Chamber
of Commerce. He served on the Lincoln County draft
board during World War II and in later years he served
one term as a County Commissioner. Alvin was a charter
member of the hospital Board of Directors during the
construction of the Lincoln County Hospital. He was a
member of the Lincoln United Methodist Church.

In 1981, Alvin and Emma sold their country home east
of Lincoln and moved to town. In February 1986 he
suffered a stroke making a move to Mid America
necessary. Alvin and Emma celebrated their 71st
anniversary last August.

Besides his 15 grandchildren and 21
great-grandchildren, Alvin is survived by his wife
Emma, of the home, Clayton and Viriginia, Alvin and
Donna Jeane, Robert and Leahmae and Betty and Jim
CRAWFORD, all of Lincoln. He was preceded in death by
two sons, Hugh and Billy.
