      Former residents of the Pert community, the couple is now at Southern Care Pavilion in Palestine.  They were married Dec. 1, 1892 in Vivian, La.
      "I'm a Cajun," Mr. Lewis says.  He and his wife are both natives of Louisiana who came to Texas 75 years ago, living in Rusk and Cherokee counties before settling on farms in the Neches area.
      He is alert although somewhat hard-of-hearing.  His wife suffers from arthritis and is confined to bed.
      He farmed in the Neches community, starting out with a mule a turning plow, Georgia stock and hoe.  He never did purchase a tractor, even though he farmer [sic farmed] until he was 85 years old.
      He now is 96 and his wife celebrated her 95th birthday Friday.
      The Lewis' efforts at farming were successful, however.  They were able to see that all but one of their children finished high school and three completed college.
      They are the parents of Mrs. A. J. Dennis of Palestine; Vaden Lewis of the Pert Community; Revis Lewis of Shreveport; Maurice Lewis of Washington, D. C.; Elton Lewis of Odessa, and Mrs. Jake Lively of Houston.
