DOB from 1899 marriage record; DR says born 12 Dec 1864.
Levi married first to Tirzah Jane Gabel on 1 Jan 1884 in Belmont County. Tirzah died a little over 7 months later. Her cause of death is listed as unknown.
He married second to Hulda Malvina Piper on 19 Mar 1885 and they had three sons; Clarence, Grover and Wilbur, all born in Belmont County, before they divorced.
Levi maintained custody of the children and married for the third and final time to Jennie E Watkins on 30 Mar 1899 also here in Belmont County.
Tirzah's death in the Belmont Chronicle says she was buried in the Methodist cemetery in St C.
No stone found. Section I near the mausoleum. There's a Sarah McFarland buried in that area but no connection that I can find.
The info I found on Huldah Gravis is varied & not always accurate. She was d/o Wilson Shannon Piper. As for her mother it depends on what her actual DOB was. W S Piper married Elizabeth Deafenbaugh 8May1866 & Mary A Kettlewell 28Oct1869. I did not find a DR for Elizabeth. Records have her born 1868-1872. In some siblings' obits she was listed as Travis or Jarvis. The 1900 census says no children & 1910 says 5. When she married Charles W Gravis it says she was never married before.
