Who Ave These Young Cooleemee Boys?
In Our Book A Great Lady
In a recent issue we carried the story about the
retirement of Mr. A. T. Lewis, who has been the
Maintenance Supt, of the Cooleemee Division of the
Buriington Industries for the past thirty years. We
gave something of his record of achievements, and
the contribution which he had made as an interested
and active citizen of our community.
There is another item which we would like to
add. He had the wisdom to select, and to have the
food fortune of his choice accepted by Miss Maude
Buff, of Spindale, North Carolina to share his suc
cessful career- And in sharing his career die contri
buted much to it, and made her own place in the life
of the community. Domestically inclined, she devoted
much time to her home, providing a base from which
her husband could devote himself to his work, and
to the rearing of their children. Handy witL the needle,
{he made most of her own clothes, and topped her
care of ho* daughters by making their wedding gowns.
She was, as all good wives and mothers are, the in
floence which makes a house a home.
But she moved out into the community to share
her fife in many aspects of community service. She
has been the president of the W. M. U. of the first
Baptist Church, a former teacher, and the head of
many worthwhile projects in Cooleemee. She has also
found time to touch many indßvidtial persons, in an
overflow of sympathetic and compassionate interest in
their well-being. The many parties and presents given
to her attest to the appreciation of her fine communi
ty service, and to the deep affectionate regard in which
she was held by her many friends in Cooleemee.
Mr. and Mrs- Lewis {dan to retire in Rutherford
Qounty, where they have built a new home. The Journ
al joins with the many friends in Cooleemee, in ex
pressing appreciation of what they have meant to
this community; and to assure them of our continued
affectionate regard, and our wish for every happiness
fa the many years which lie ahead.
