IKAMIRE, Lewis - Putnam

Again the grim reaper death has visited our community and takes from us our neighbor Lewis Ikamire. He was the son of Riley and Mary Ikamire. He was born in Ohio September 19, 1859 and departed this life at his home December 14, 1939, age 80 years, 2 months and 25 days.

Mr. Ikamire came to Putnamville, Indiana, with his parents at the age of two years where he spent his boyhood and early manhood. He was married to Etta Mullinix, March 1, 1893, living in Manhattan one year, then moving to Greencastle Township where he spent six years, later moving to Marion Township where he spent the remaining years of his life.

He was converted and became a member of the Presbyterian church at Putnamville when a young man. He was a Past Master of the Applegate Masonic Lodge and also a member of the Fillmore Chapter of Eastern Star.

Mr. Ikamire was a great lover of nature and the outdoors, and spent many hours the last few years working among the flowers he loved. He also was a great reader both of books, the daily news and current events.

He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, one daughter Mrs. Lillie Day of Bainbridge, one son Roy of Greencastle, three grandchildren, four sisters Ana, Lucy and Allie Ikamire and Mrs. Catherine Duree all of Greencastle and

other relatives and friends.
