LEVI STANDISH
One of Washington County's Most
Prominent Farmers, Passed Away
Levi Standish was born May 7, 1847, in Madison township, this county, and died April 29, 1910, aged 62 years, 11 months, 22 days.
He was the son of Wm. and Anna (Maudlin) Standish who were the children of pioneers of this county. Silas Standish, the parental grandfather coming from Massachusetts [error: Silas was born in New London, CT] at an early day, and Nathan Maudlin, the maternal grandfather coming about the same period from North Carolina. Both families settled down in Vernon township, this county, near each other and their children marrying in 1837 [Wm and Anna married in 1837.].
To William and Anna were born five sons, Silas, Benjamin, Miles, Levi and John, all of whom are now dead except John who lives in Kansas City, Mo. Anna, the mother, died in March 1852 [Anna died April 1853.].
William again married, this time his bride being Mrs. Jane Hinds, and to this union were born, Enoch F., now deceased, Mary Standish Banks, and Sanford H. Standish.
Levi lived in Madison township until he was about 17 years of age when his father's family moved to Vernon township to the farm now owned by Milton Banks.
He was married, February 6, 1868, to Emily C. Martin. To this union were born four children, Anna [Alva Ann “Anna”] Standish Ognen [Ogdon], of Danville, Ill., Ollie [Mary Olivet] Standish Hoar, Silas [Silas Mason] Standish and Alice Standish, all of whom survive him.
He joined the Church of Christ at Mt. Tabor in the year of 1869, and lived to the teachings of God ever afterwards. He was a kind husband and loving father, a good citizen, an upright, honest and conscientious man. No better or more worthy and prudent man ever lived in our county. In his death the community as well as the family has sustained a great loss.
Mr. Standish, or Levi, as he was familiarly called, was an example, illustration and demonstration of what labor, honesty and economy can bring to a farmer of our community. With a very small inheritance for a beginning, he was at the time of death the owner of 500 acres of fine Washington County farming land and reported to be worth $30,000.
The funeral occurred at the family residence just south of Salem, Monday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Revd. Homer Adamson, of Bloomington after which the remains were carried and interred in Crown Hill Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of relative and friend.
