Line 59, Clemens Levi, Age: 34, Single, Place of Birth: Michigan, Father's Place of Birth: Canada, Mother's Place of Birth: Canada.Note From Scott Furrow:
There is a family story about Levi. He lived like a hermit in a small house in Allegan County and never married. It was said that Levi was able to squirrel away several thousand dollars, which he either hid somewhere in the house or buried somewhere on his property. When he died, however, nobody could find the money. Levi's neighbor suspiciously had recently purchased an expensive new car, so the family hired a private investigator to look into the matter. Nothing ever came of it. Rumor has it that the neighbor had buddied up with the investigator.
Roland Furrow said that he went to the house with the family shortly after Levi's death. He said that the place was filthy and that he had to use some of his electrical skill to get the power on. Roland said that the light bulbs were covered with soot from the woodstove that Levi used for heating.
Note from Scott Furrow: On the marriage certificate she is listed as Libbie Barrell. I assume that Barrell was her married name from a previous marriage. Whiteman must have been her maiden name

Wednesday, 2/16/32, Age 83 years, 11 months, 28 days
Nearly 84, passed away Saturday after a long illness. He lived for many years in Leighton Twp. and was well known here. Some years ago he sold his farm and went to California to be near a son and family - later he sold out there and came back here and purchased the M.E. Thompson property where the wife passed away about a year ago. He had been in failing health since and was given the best of care by his daughter, Mrs. Perrault, and his son and family of Chicago, a part of whom moved here and was with him constantly. He was fortunate in one thing, that he had no pain all during his illness. The funeral will be a t 2 PM at the late home. The relatives have the sympathy of their friends in the passing of a real man.
