June 3, 1915 - Carroll Times - Levi L. Thomas, for thirty-two years a resident of Carroll, died at his home in the northeast part of the city, Saturday, May 29th, death being the result of paralytic stroke accompanied by other ailments.
The deceased was born at Somerton, Monroe county, Ohio, November 25, 1853, and was in his sixty-second year at time of his death. All his earlier years were spent in his native state and he was married in Ohio, to Miss Lucinda Akins, who survives him, on May 3, 1878.
Three children were born to them, all of whom are living. They are Chauncey Thomas, of Boone, Iowa; Mrs. Ella Allen, of Dedham, Iowa; and Clarence Thomas, of Carroll. About five years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Thomas moved from Barnesville, Ohio, to Carroll, where they have since resided.
Mr. Thomas' parents were Jonas and Phoebe Thomas and belonged to the Quaker persuasion, in which sect the son was reared and from which he never withdrew. He joined the Odd Fellows Lodge in Carroll many years ago and has been a loyal and active member of that fraternity. Mr. Thomas was one of the party of Odd Fellows who attended a large lodge gathering at Jefferson in January of last year, returning from which one of the party, James Thompson, died on the road. Mr. Thomas was seated beside Mr. Thompson and the discovery that the latter was dead, which was not made until their arrival in Carroll, was a great shock to him.
For more than twenty years he has been a member of the Carroll Fire department and for a good part of that time has served as captain of the Hook and Ladder Company. The deceased was in demand when faithful placing of advertising matter was desired.
The funeral was held on Monday at the M.E. church conducted by the pastor, Rev. S.G. Lewis, and the Firemen of the city attended in uniform. The Odd Fellows lodge had charge of the services at the grave.
