Death Of Edward Levis, Member of Well Known Alton Family Dies at Home on Washington Street After Three Weeks' Illness
Edward Levis, member of a well-known Alton family, older son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Levis, died Sunday morning at 430 o'clock at his residence on Washington Street, after being bedfast three weeks.
Mr. Levis was the only member of the family of sons of his father who did not take an active part in the management of the business of the Illinois Glass Company. His tastes were in other directions and when he was a young man he left Alton and remained away from here a long time. He came back here with his wife about 30 years ago and lived in Alton from that time up to the time of his death.
He was in poor health for several years and did not become seriously ill until about three weeks before his death occurred. He was one of the best-known men and the eastern part of the city and he had a wide acquaintance all over Alton.
Mr. Levis was born in Alton 70 years ago and most of his life he spent in Alton. He is survived by his wife, one sister, Mrs. L. F. Cotter, of Chicago, and five brothers. George, Charles, John M., R. H. and Nelson Levis.
The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 7 o'clock from the Washington Ave., Methodist Church in which both he and Mrs. Levis had taken a deep interest and for which they have been indefatigable workers. It is the request of the family that there be no flowers. Burial will be in the City Cemetery.
