Levi K Dixon was born 5 Apr 1875 in Cambridge Dorchester, Maryland to Henry Richard Dixon (1831-1916) and Charlotte L Keene (1848-1932).
Land feuds were very common back then, probably why fences were put up.
Here's a great read on the subject. Almost like the Hatfields and McCoy's.

Levi is missing from the 1920 census, I also never found a wife or children. Interesting newspaper articles though, they shed light on why he was charged with Assault With A Deadly Weapon. One never knows what behind the criminal's reason for what they have done.
