Lewis was the son of Frost Meserve and Priscilla Nute.
On July 30, 1862 he enlisted in Concord, NH to serve in the Civil War. He was a resident of Epsom, NH. On Aug 5, 1862 he was placed as a Private in Co. F 9th NH Infantry Regiment. He was mustered out with a medical disability on May 15, 1863 in Washington, D.C. (His disability included Hypertensive Dilatation of Heart; Varicose Veins in both legs; Disease of Stomach; and Sclerosis of Liver).
About 1871 he married Sumira L. (Brown) Goldthwait, daughter of Jacob Brown and Meriam Lyman, and widow of William Goldthwaite.
They had a son, George L, and raised her children Carrie Anna & Everand Goldthwaite from her 1st marriage.
While living in Haverhill, MA he was a shoeworker in the factories there.
His wife, Sumira, died in 1890. I can't find where he was in 1900, but on Nov 12, 1904 he was admitted in to the U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. This is where he was when he died.
