CADWALLADER LEWIS, L.L. D. was the son of John Lewis, an eminent 
educator, and was born in Spottsylvania county, Va. November 5, 1811.  
He was raised by Presbyterian parents, and educated by his father, who 
conducted a classical school at Llangolen, Va., many years.  In 1830, he 
entered the University of Virginia, where he finished his course in 
ancient and modern languages and mathematics.  He came to Kentucky in 
1831, and taught a select school at Covington.  In the spring of the 
following year, he took charge of the prepatory department of Georgetown 
College, then under the presidency of Joel S. Bacon. In 1844, he 
commenced the study of medicine; but his health failing, he went on a 
farm near the Forks of Elkhorn in Franklin county, which he occupied the 
remainder of his life.  During the same year that he moved on the farm, 
he made a profession of religion, and was baptized by B. F. Kenney, into 
the fellowship of Buck Run Baptist church.  Very soon afterwards he was 
licensed to preach, and was ordained by Abner Goodell, James E. Duval, 
B. F. Kenney, Y. R. Pitts, and F. H. Hodges, in September, 1846.  The 
succeeding spring he was called to the care of the church at Frankfort.  
He refused to leave his farm, but agreed to serve them till they could 
procure a pastor.  He preached to them till the following October, when 
the church secured the services of James W. Goodman.  In 1848, he 
succeeded Wm. F. Broadus as pastor of Versailles church, and John L. 
Waller, as pastor of Glenn Creek, both in Woodford County.  He preached 
to each of these churches, two Sundays a month, till 1858, when he gave 
up one Sunday at Glens [sic] Creek, in order to supply Providence, a 
church recently constituted near his home.  The last named church, he 
served until his death.  He served the other two till the 25th of 
December, 1865, when his right thigh was broken, near the hip-joint, by 
a fall of his horse, on ice, as he was going to Versailles to preach.  
This injury compelled him to give up pastoral labor.  As soon as he was 
able to walk on crutches, he was elected Professor of Theology, in 
Georgetown College.  He filled this position four years.  Having 
sufficiently recovered from his injuries to be able to travel, he 
resigned his professorship, and accepted a call to the pastorate of 
Great Crossing church, in connection with that of Providence, which he 
had not relinquished.  At the end of three years he was called from 
Great Crossing to succeed L. B. Woolfolk as pastor of Mt. Vernon church, 
in Woodford county, where he continued to minister till his labors on 
earth ceased.  He died suddenly of heart disease, at the house of a 
friend, near Mt. Vernon, where he expected to preach the next day, on 
the 22nd of April, 1882.  He had with him notes of the sermon he 
expected to preach, on the text:  The last enemy that shall be destroyed 
is death, I Cor. 15, 26.
