Levi Downs was a well known early merchant in Atlantic. The photos on this page are from the Carl and Christine (Andersen) Petersen photo collection. Carl's father, Chris Petersen, Sr., was head clerk at the Levi Downs store from 1884-1896. A photo of Mrs. Clark, another clerk at the Downs store, is posted separately.

Identification of the photos above, per handwriting on the backs: 1) Far left, Levi Downs; 2) Second from the left, Mrs. Levi Downs; 3) Third from the left, Levi Downs children (The boy shown in front on the left is believed to be Arthur Levi Downs. A descendant has contributed a photo of Arthur as an adult.); 4) Fourth from the left above, Kate Downs (Mrs. Fred Alexander); 5) Far right, an unidentified photo (without identification on the back) that appears to have a strong resemblance to one of the Downs daughters in the family group photo.
