Lewis J. Dudley

Biography

Lewis J. Dudley (1815–1896) believed in the power of community, regularly offering support to neighbors who needed a steady hand or quiet encouragement. As the town matured, he stood as a bridge between generations, inviting young people to learn from elders and vice versa.

He is remembered as someone who made room for conversation, and Bridge Street Cemetery keeps his resting place close to those he loved.
