Lewis, girl; 1898

Following is a clipping from the Hill City Reveille: Again Graham county goes against the world. Last Thursday [28 April 1898. jwg] a girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Addison Lewis living five miles north of Hill City. There is nothing strange about that but the strangeness is in the fact that it is the first child and the father is 64 years old and the mother is 47 years old. A few more good rains and few more good crops and what may Graham county not reasonable hope for?
