John Lewis taught at the Jefferson School alongside his wife, Margaret Lewis, as well as Isabella Gibbons, Philena Carkin, and Anna Gardner.
Lewis was one of the first to join the teaching staff of the Jefferson School in 1866. Colleagues of his described him as a "slow and deep" teacher.[1] Lewis named his class the "John Brown School," and mainly taught the primary, or elementary-level, students. Some sources say that Lewis learned to read later in life, which could explain his dedication to the literacy of his students.[2]
