David Level, age 83 years, one of Laredo's oldest residents and a veteran of various wars, died at his home in this city early last night. With him when he died, was his brother George, of Missouri, who is also an old time war veteran and is the only near relative of the deceased.
The life of David Level was one of those that has gone to make history. He was a real frontiersman and has seen this part of the state grow from bald prairies dottec (sic) with Indian villages and trod over by herds of buffalo and mustang, to a great agricultural country and a center of commerce.
Mr Level was born in Greenbriar county Virginia, and was of Scotch-Irish decent. He was a young man who loved adventure and when General Taylor started to Mexico he enlisted with him and followed him on all the subsequent battlefields, being with him when the United States flag was hoisted over Monterrey. Returning, he stopped off at Laredo and made his home here. He joined the Texas rangers and participated in many of the bloodiest Indian and outlaw battles of the early frontier days. He served with the rangers until the civil war broke out , at which time he went into the confederate army and served with distinction. On returning to Laredo he made his home in the county again and devoted his life to the raising of sheep. The funeral will be held from the residence near the Texas-Mexican depot, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon.

The remains of the late Col David Level were laid to rest in the city cemetery yesterday afternoon. The funeral occured from his late residence on Santa Maria avenue at four thirty o'clock There was a good attendance and many flowers.
