Now this is a game I can play
Our Irving Lewis was born Irving Rhodes Lewis June 20, 1888 the son of Epenetus Lewis and lived in Hempstead, New York from birth thru at least 1940. The proof positive is the 1915 New York state census in which he lists his occupation as Ball Player. Out of Baseball by 1917, married shortly thereafter and by 1930 was a widowed single dad with a daughter, living with his also widowed mother, presumably in the boyhood home he grew up in. By 1940 he is remarried with two younger children. By this time he is going by Irvin. He died in 1954 and is buried in Greenfield cemetery, Uniondale, Nassau county, New York.
Possibly any or all of this three children could be living today and provide even more information.
