- Written by Lauren J. Spreeman
Levi, as with all his brothers and sisters, had a very hard childhood, he left home when he was only 7 years old, as his mother died in or around 1891. Levi was a blacksmith in Ontario. He came out west to Olds-Didsbury and worked on my grandfathers threshing crew. On 19 Apr 1914 he received the deed to his homestead four miles north of the #9 highway and just three miles inside the Alberta border. The land location was NW-34-28-1-W5.
When the First World War broke out he joined the army and became a sharp shooter. Later on, he moved up to northern Saskatchewan, three miles north of Crooked River, he got the deed to this homestead on 25 Feb 1926. The land location was NW-30-45-12-W2.
In later years he moved to the Fraser Valley where he fished and played horse shoes.
