Nowadays they would never publish the child's name





In 1917 he was living in Contra Costa County, CA For Incest.


Inmate: #31047 San Quentin Prison

He was transferred to Folsom Prison =, this was common practice to keep the prisons from getting overloaded

Here's some newspaper articles from 1917





He was married twice but I only found one wife Arthusa "Mary" Wood and I found 11 of the children. Samantha died in 1919 and I am not posting the rest of the children even though they have all pasted.
In the 1930 Census he is living with his wife and children in Yakama, WA.
Levi died 28 Apr 1943 in San Joaquin County, CA

Very sad case, one never knows what you will find in your tree.

    Another research shows he married an Arthusa Wood in 1877, then a Mary Wood in 1889
