Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    John was my mother's only cousin and she adored him. His mother and my grandmother were sisters. His mother was Dorothy Neta Lewis (nee Powell) and my Grandmother Winifred Craig (nee Powell) was his Aunt. I actually think he was born in Australia. His parents lived in Goulburn and named their house Chester after the place John was buried in Englad. There is noone alive who rememebrs him so I am going to visit his grave next year

Did you know?
In 1923, in the year that John Hedgley Lewis was born, the Teapot Dome scandal became the subject of an investigation by Senator Walsh and severely damaged the reputation of the Harding administration. Secretary of the Interior Albert Bacon Fall was convicted of accepting bribes from oil companies and became the first Cabinet member to go to prison. At the time, the Teapot Dome scandal was seen as "greatest and most sensational scandal in the history of American politics".
Did you know?
In 1930, when he was just 7 years old, on August 6th, N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater went through papers in his office, destroyed some of them, withdrew all his money from the bank - $5,150, sold his stock, met friends at a restaurant for dinner and disappeared after getting into a taxi (or walking down the street - his friends' testimony later changed). His disappearance was reported to the police on September 3rd - almost a month later. His wife didn't know what happened, his fellow Justices had no idea, and his mistresses (he had several) said that they didn't know. While his disappearance was front page news, his fate was never discovered and after 40 years the case was closed, still without knowing if Crater was dead or alive.
