Lewis Gaume was born on April 1, 1876 in Ohio.1 He was the son of Francis Gaume and Augustina Blanchard. He died on June 16, 1916 in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas, at age 40.

Lewis Gaume was also known as James L. Gaume. According to Francis Gaume's Civil War Pension request (1915), Lewis' birthdate is April 1st, 1876; however the St. Louis Parish records (Louisville, Ohio) show that his sister, Alice, was baptised in 1876. The pension request shows that Alice's birthdate is Jan 24, 1877. Pratically all of the dates on the pension request have been proven to be wrong. 1880 census suggests that he was born 1878.
