Notes |
Lewis was raised in Illinois, although, he was born in Maryland, as his parents came to Jo Daviess county when he was young. At the time that the civil war started, he tried to enlist, but was sent home, because he was too young. He tried again later when he was seventeen and was accepted in Company H 21st Illinois infantry and after re-enlisting was mustered out from the service in December 1865 from Company C of the 140th Illinois infantry. After the war, Lewis attended and graduated from the Normal School in Galena, Illinois in June 1872. After that, he taught in Illinois and California. He also was justice of the peace in Elizabeth and sold fire insurance.
Upon his retirement, he began to raise ginseng plants, as a hobby, but it turned out to be a profitable venture. Lewis is known for being the last surviving veteran of the civil war in the state of Illinois. He was 103 years old and would have been 104 in October when he died in 1950. In the may 30, 1949, life magazine he was pictured as being one of the oldest surviving members of the civil war. At that time there were only sixty-eight left. In the census of 1860, he was listed as being fourteen. In 1889, he was living in Hanover, Illinois and in 1916 was living in Elizabeth, Illinois. There were five children in the family. They were Winifred Marie Fablinger (Bowden) (1877-1934), Carolyn May Fablinger (Parkinson) (1879-1934), Sarah Bernice Fablinger (Rogers) (1881- ), Herbert Leigh Fablinger (1886-1887) and William Raymond Fablinger (1888-1971).
