The early day settlers of Boone County are gradually dropping off and the men prominent in the pioneer days are passing to their eternal rest. One of these was Levi Emerson, who died at Stratford on Monday afternoon of last week of the grip. He had been ill for some time but a fatal ending had not been apprehended, as he was not an old man and had a strong constitution. The funeral took place on Wednesday, when he was interred in the Mineral Ridge cemetery. Levi Emerson was born in Delaware County, Ohio, in 1830, and educated at the Ohio Central University in Columbus. After finishing his education he taught school for a number of years, coming to Boone County in 1855, where he entered a section of land in Dodge Township. He was, in the early day, prominent in politics, serving one term as county superintendent of schools, as member of the board of supervisors, and at different times holding minor offices in his township. He was a democrat of positive and radical opinions, and as the politics of the county changed and became republican Mr. Emerson retired from political life and was not so well known to the people in later days as formerly. Spite of his bitter partisanship in the days when differences of politics made neighbors enemies (now happily past), Levi Emerson was a man that commanded the respect of even his opponents, for no one questioned his honesty and integrity. He was married in 1869 to Miss Priscilla Richey, of Ohio. Their home was in Mineral Ridge until about ten years ago, when Mr. Emerson moved to Stratford, where he was in business until the time of his decease. He was one of the leading men of the town, and mayor of the city at the time of his death. His wife and two children survive him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
