I “met” my second cousin Dale from seeing her post on a forum about H. Lewis works. She mentioned in the post that she was a great granddaughter to Hubert Lewis, which meant we were related. Through the wonder of facebook and email, I was able to connect with her. Dale’s grandmother was Mercedes, who bore Garnet Jeanne (named after her Aunt Garnet who died in the 1918 flu epidemic), and Garnet had Dale.
Dale’s daughter is gifted in art. She majored in painting/fine art at Rhode Island School of Design, and got her masters in fine art at U Penn. She is an art teacher and head of the art department at a school in Rhode Island, and continues to show at various art galleries.
Garnet Jeanne has many pieces of Hubert’s in her home. The photos are not high quality, but the art is still beautiful.
