Settled in Jasper County, Iowa before 1860.
He was living in Osage Twp., Labette Co., KS in 1870.
Reported in family bible of son to have died "near Cherryvale", Kansas in 1871.
It cannot be proven with 100% certainty that Levi Nuttle Meek is in an unmarked grave somewhere in this location, only that at the time of his death choices for internment, at least in the township where he lived, were limited to either on his own farm or in this cemetery. There were 2 cemeteries known to have been in use in neighboring Montgomery County, around Cherryville, by 1871, but the reference to him dying in the Cherryvalle area would include the general vicinity of his farm in Osage Twp., Labette Co.. While it is certainly not "proof" that Levi was buried in Harmony Grove, it is at least worthy of note that a neighbor, who lived just 12 households from him at the time of the 1870 census and died in 1871 is buried here. Photos at least suggest there must be unmarked graves, many probably had wood markers. If not the arrangement and spacing of those with markers would have to be viewed as rather eccentric.
