Mr. Levi Clearwater, one of the oldest residents of Winterset, died early last Wednesday morning, and was buried yesterday. His death seems to have been due merely to age, as he was nearly eighty years old.

Clearwater - Levi Clearwater was born in Ohio Nov. 30, 1810 and died June 20, 1894 at the age of 83 years, 5 months and 20 days.

When a child of two years old, he moved with his parents to Putnam county, Ind. At the age of twenty-one years, he was married to Elizabeth Donavon and remained in Indiana until 1850. From there they moved to Knoxville, Iowa where they lived about seventeen years; they then moved to Madison county

Eleven children were born to them, three of whom are dead. His aged wife, three sons and five daughter survive to mourn.

He was a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church until 1859, when he became a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and remained in that faith until death.

He was taken sick last November, suffering greatly until the end. He bore all very patiently and was ready when called.
