Levi showed up in a census as the child of Cyrus and Ellen but tombstone shows son of H & L. He is buried next to Ellen but till further proof I will keep him with Mary Louise and Miley Henry. Either way he appears to have been named after the boy who was murdered. | Carl Orville Strayer wife Ruby Rhodes |
