Gaston, Joseph. "The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912." Vol. 3. Chicago, Clarke Publishing Co., 1912. p. 284. ARTHUR G. LEWIS is the popular and successful young proprietor of the Josephine Livery Barn in Grants Pass, an establishment which he is managing with skill and profit, having been reared in that business. He was born in Marion county, Oregon, June 1, 1881, the son of George and Mary (Tucker) Lewis. The father, who was a native of Nebraska, removed from that state to Oregon in 1888, taking up his residence in Jackson county. In his family were six children. Arthur G. Lewis pursued his education in the common schools and remained under the parental roof until he was eighteen years of age. He was first employed in a livery barn with his father and later came to Grants Pass, where he purchased the Josephine Livery Barn, which he has since been successfully conducting. Mr. Lewis was married June 24, 1907, to Miss Margaret Matney, a native of Oregon, and to them has been born a son, Howard, whose natal day was September 8, 1909. In his political faith Mr. Lewis is a republican and a popular young man in the local organization. He is a member of the Odd Fellows lodge of Jacksonville, an order in which he takes a lively interest. He is one of the popular young business men of Grants Pass and is serving the public in such a manner as to merit the liberal patronage which he is receiving. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
