Lewis Atwood [Roundy] was born August 15, 1851. As a young man he went west. Old letters written to his brother, Morton, and still extant, witness that he was at Skinner's Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, in March, 1873, at Loomis Ranch in May, and lumbering in Hamilton, Colorado, in February, 1874. A last letter to his brother was from St. John's, Newfoundland, dated July 21, 1877. He had sailed from Provincetown on May 18, 1877, in the fishing schooner "Charley F. Mayo". In July they were in St. John's for bait. With two or three others in a small boat away from the schooner in the autumn fog and storm, they were lost in September. On the Roundy monument in Rockingham is the inscription:
Lewis A. Roundy
Lost off Grand Banks, N. F.
1851-1877
