I am told he was quite properous and owned a hardware store at the corner of Third & Main streets. He and his second wife, Mattie HYBARGER had five children that I know of, namely Lizzie "Dot" (who married William HALYARD), William (who married Nellie TALBOT), EDWARD (who married Mabel HARRIMAN and Nannie BRILLHART), Ina "Dolly" (who married a FRAHM) an an unknown children born in 1891. If anyone can tell me anything about this family or any of the named people, I would appreciate it. Thanks. P.S. I recently came across the obituation for Edward (son of Levi) and it was very helpful. Anything additional would be great. Mary Riseling Springfield, IL riseling@famvid.com
