Sergeant, U.S. Army
Harlin Burnett Lewis was the middle child of Thomas Campbell and Cora Ethel Davis Lewis. He married Dorothy Alene Elliott at West Plains, MO, on March 8, 1941.
He was a loving husband to his wife, Dorothy and, at the time of his death, they had been married for 63 years, 3 months, 13 days. They were absolutely inseparable.
Harlin was also a loving father who set a shining example for his sons in regard to being a good person, husband and father. The result is that all his sons remain happily married to their original wives and none of his sons, or grandchildren, have ever been in any kind of trouble.

Harlin is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and three sons and their wives, Charles A. and Lee Lewis of Palmdale, CA; Ronald D. and Elaine Lewis of Inverness, FL; and Gary W. and Nancy Lewis of St. Charles, MO. An infant daughter, Barbara Jean Lewis, preceded him in death in 1941. He is also survived by four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
