This is a picture of my great Aunt Laura Bissaillon Lewis. I can hardly remember her.

The one thing that stands out was she married a Jewish man George Lewis. This was frowned upon back in 1930s. This caused a controversy in the family.

They owned a men's clothing store in Meridan, Connecticut. They were quite successful with this business. I can remember Dad getting a suit from them.

Uncle George is buried in Connecticut in a Jewish cemetery and Aunt Laura is buried in Bellevue Cemetery in Adams, Massachusetts, in the Bissaillon plot.

Laura M Lewis

Born: 1905

My hope for you, Aunt Laura, is that you and Uncle George are together in heaven smiling down.

Aunt Laura and Uncle George you are not forgotten.
