"Uncle Gus" Lewis Is Critically Ill - A.B. Lewis, one of Fayetteville's three oldest residents, and affectionately known as "Uncle Gus," is critically ill at his home on West Dickson street here and because of his critical condition, his two sons, Lucius L. Lewis of Muskogee and Linn Lewis of Oklahoma City have been called to his bedside. Mr. Lewis was taken sick last Thursday, and since Tuesday his condition has grown worse rapidly.

His advanced age, nearly 93, and condition of his heart are believed causes of his illness. He was to have celebrated his 93rd birthday in April.

A.B. Lewis, 92 years old, perhaps the oldest resident of Fayetteville, died Saturday and funeral services were held Monday afternoon. “Uncle Gus,” as he was known to all his friends, had lived in Fayetteville since 1835. He was in business in Fayetteville when the Civil War broke out but turned the key in his store door and served four years in the Confederate army.
