General Notes:

Information about Levi was know in the family. He was soldier in the Spanish American War. (1898) Served in Company L, 30th U.S. Infantry Regular Army from Ohio. He was employed as a barber when on the 28 January 1901 Levi enlisted in the army at Grand Rapids, Michigan for 4 enlistments of 3 years each. He was discharged December 20, 1912 from Angie Island-San Francisco, California.

In Levi's brother John's obituary it told Levi, was with the U.S. Infantry stationed at Ft. Wayne at Detroit.

Securing records from the government and hospital where he live and died gave an insite on Uncle Levi. After his discharge worked as a laborer. He is recorded as working in a factory. Living in Monroe County 1920 at age 46 Levi applied for a pension from the U.S. government. After required physicals and test proving he was unable to work to support himself. He was found to be disabled from malaria fever at various intervals and suffered severe headaches and rhumatism. He was issued a pension

This was in 1907. Belonged to VFW Egbert Camp # 10 in Toledo, OH

Is it possible Levi was baptised Leviticus. I am still looking for record of his birth.
