Melvin, father of Winfred Melvin editor of the Excelsior, died at his home in Lancaster Tuesday morning, September 24, 1918, after an illness of about eighteen hours. Mr. Melvin had passed his 84th year but was extremely spry for one of his years, having been busily engaged about his garden of which he took great pride, up to the day before his death. He came to Lancaster when it was but a stagging [sic] village and saw many of the hardships of the early settlers. His taking away removes one of our oldest pioneers. Levi Newton Melvin was born in Lawrence county, Indiana, July 21, 1832, and died at Lancaster, Missouri, September 24, 1918, at the age of 86. He came to Lancaster early in the year 1854, and has been in this community most all of the time since - a period of sixty-four years. He was the oldest resident on the grounds at the Old Settlers' Meeting a few weeks ago and on that account was awarded a gold headed cane, which gift he greatly appreciated. On December 13, 1855, he was married to Mary F. Reed who was his companion for more than fifty years, dying December 1, 1908. Of this union there were five children, one dying in infancy, the other four yet living. These are Ben R. Melvin, Kansas City, James A. Melvin, Davis county, Iowa, Mrs. Alva Grindle, Dewey, Oklahoma, Winfred Melvin, Lancaster. In his early years he became a member of the Christian church and had sincere appreciation of religious things. He was loved and honored by his children and his many friends, and laid down the burden of a long life gladly and without regret. Funeral services were held at the Lancaster Christian church Thursday afternoon, conducted by Elder L.B. Harrington under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. Interment was had in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Lancaster Excelsior September 26, 1918 page 3, column 4
