From the Tyrone Daily Herald (Tyrone, PA)
April 15, 1896. - "Rev. Leander M. Lewis was received from the presbytery of Pittsburg and he has accepted a call from the churches of Sinking Valley and Lower Spruce Creek."
From the History of Arch Spring Presbyterian Church by S. Gilson.
"Two miles up the valley, back from Union Furnace, is the Sinking Valley church, and near by is the charming rural parsonage, recently taken possession of by the new pastor of the church the Rev. L.M. Lewis, for many years settled at Canonsbury. The manse and glebe are unsurpassed in themselves and with the towering mountains all around, by any I ever saw in the Highlands of Scotland. The immediate approach is through a beautiful grove of tall pines, oak and maple, where the birds hold constant concerts and the squirrels chirp and play all day. The stream is full of trout and the mountain full of game. On the occasion of my visit the first day of July the fence corners of the meadows and wheatfields furnished ripe raspberries in abundance, the huckleberries, mulberries, wild gooseberries and Juneberries were in their glory, with the prospect of an inexhaustible supply of blackberries."
An additional article on Rev. Lewis will be found in the History of Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church.
