^[typed in margin]:

This Carmody appears to be the black sheep of the Carmody Bros - Having left a wife-Florence- and perhaps one child- she was a Nursing Home patient for a long time, and was transferred to Count. Home, as she was ambulatory - and died there.  He had gone to live with Pat Kinney (sister of Treva) and they had 6 children- mostly little ones - and she is about to have another one at this juncture.  They had never married, he being a Catholic, and she had sent the children regularly to Lutheran SS being a Kinney.  Then, pressure was brought to bear, and a very recent marriage took place - perhaps by Mr. Olson, so that she could collect on his Social Security for her self and their children!

Mrs. Agnes B. Lewis

1960
GENEVA, Jan. 31-- A pioneer in the state and nation in the suffrage movement who was a civic, church and educational leader in Geneva, Mrs. Agnes B. Lewis, 81, died early today (Jan. 31, 1960) in the mansion to which she came as a bride in 1903 when she married the late Alfred G. Lewis, Sr.

Mrs. Lewis was born in Geneva on May 27, 1878, the eldest daughter of Henry Lawrence and Agnes Stacey Slosson who belonged to old New York, Boston, and Old Chester, Pa. families that have moved to Geneva when it was still a struggling village.  She was educated in DeLancey School, Geneva High School and St. Margaret's School in Buffalo after which she studied singing in New York City for several years.

On Sept. 29, 1903, Mrs. Lewis was married to Alfred George Lewis, formerly of Buffalo, and moved into the manor house on White Springs farm which he owned and operated.  The residence a few years ago became the Margaret Ayer Nursing home.

After this was accomplished, Mrs. Lewis threw her influence into the League of Women Voters serving the Seventh Judicial District as director and the state and nation of league boards.  A Democrat she served the Town of Geneva in which she lived as a county committee woman.
