History
Claude Lewis was born in 1878 to Edwin and Emma Kermott Lewis, the second son of three. Older brother Fred was born in 1875, while younger brother Harry Sinclair was born in 1885.
Claude would move from the family home in Sauk Centre, MN, and settle in nearby St. Cloud. Here he married Mary (Whilmelmenia) Freeman in March 1907 and had four children. These children were: Phillip (1910-1911), Freeman (1908-1976) (wife Judy), Virginia (1912-1986), and Isabel (1916-2000) (husband Robert Agrell).
Like his father Edwin, Claude became a medical doctor - he practiced in St. Cloud and was the first chief of Medicine at the St. Cloud Hospital.
In 1926, Claude built a home, which is currently the Lewis House on the campus of St. Cloud State University. It replaced a home that stood next door.
Mary Lewis passed away on May 29, 1949. Mary was 71 years old. Claude married Helen Lindberg Daboll in June 1950. Helen died on November 20, 1980 at the age of 87.
