Bergen.--Levi LEWELLYN, a well-known farmer of this town, died yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock of Bright's disease, aged 78 years. He had been ill about a year, but was not confined to his bed until the first of this month, and from that time he remained unconscious to the end. Mr. LEWELLYN, who was the last survivor of 13 children, was born in Springport, Cayuga county, February 14, 1820. When he was seven years old, he removed with his parents to this town, where the remainder of his life was spent. January 1, 1850, he married Maria WARD, who, with two sons, Clarence and Burt, survives him. There were two other sons: Elwood, who died at the age of thirty years, and Herbert, who died in infancy; and a daughter, Effie May, who lived to be two years old. Mr. LEWELLYN devoted himself to the cultivation of his farm and took but little interest in social or political affairs. He had many friends, who were attracted by his bluff, hearty manner. Honesty characterized all his dealings; he had a kind heart, was a liberal provider for his family, and was disposed to lend a helping hand to a brother in need.
