Notizen zu dieser Person
May 28, 1906. At Astoria, Ill., Levi H. Diehl, 84; formerly of near Bedford. (Source: Bedford Gazette, vol. 101, No 17, Fri., Jan 11, 1907. Necrological: A complete Record of the Deaths of the Past Year from the Gazette Files)
In 1840, Mr. Levi Henry Diehl assisted John May, a prominent merchant and farmer, of Rainsburg, PA, as an all round clerk in the store, post office, and on the large farm. These were the days before postage stamps, when a mileage rate was charged on each letter, and the mails were carried over mountain roads on horse back or by stage-coach, between towns and villages. He also taught rural school a few years, and conducted evening singing school at school houses. He farmed a couple of years east of Everett, PA, near McGraw's Crossing. Later he purchased 400 acres iron ore land between Hopewell and Bloody Run (now Everett) which he improved, and it was afterwards known as the Half-Way House, now owned by John Greenawalt. He was a stockholder and helped build the Bloody Run and Hopewell Plankroad in 1857, which afterwards went into the hands of a receiver as unprofitable venture. In connection with clearing, burning lime, building, and farming, he engaged considerably in the lumber business, a couple of years in partnership with J.B. Harris and J.B. Williams. Here he was secretary of the township school board and successfully helped establish our free school system.
In 1863, he exchanged this farm for 280 acres in southwest Iowa, and moved to Snake Spring Valley, on the Old Ritchey farm, which was his home two years. In 1865, he sold this (known as the StoneHouse property) and took his family west, taking possession of a farm which afterwards grew to a half section, near Summum, Illinois. Here he helped build the first church in that community, under thepastorate of Rev. George Weber. He was a life-long member of the Reformed Church; a liberal supporter of her institutions, and a Sunday school worker for three-quarters of a century. As a delegate herepresented the church at many of its classical and synodical meetings.
As a master of Woodland Grange, he was a strong factor in the Patron of Husbandry movement here forty years ago. He was an active member of the Masonic fraternity, in politics a Republican always, and with Mrs. Diehl belonged to the Order of Eastern Star. In 1886 they retired from the active duties of the farmto a home in Astoria, Illinois, where some twenty years later they both, within the space of a few months, obeyed that final summons that comes to all.

Per Elias Henry Diehl:
Marriage ceremony performed by Rev. George Liedy.
Worked for John May in Rainsburg, PA, both clerk & post office clerk. These were the days before postage stamps, when a mileage rate was charged on each letter, andthe mails were carried over mountain roads on horseback or by stagecoach.
The land in Hopewell was 400 acres of iron ore land between there and Bloody Run (now Everett), known as Half-Way House. Held stock in and helped build the Bloody Run and Hopewell Plankroad in 1857, which afterward went into receivership.
Partnered in the lumber business with J.B. Harris and J.B. Williams. Secretary of the township school board & helped establish the school system.
In 1863 he exchanged the Half-Way House for 280 acres in southwest Iowa, and movedto Snake Spring Valley, on the Old Ritchey farm, known as the Stone House property. In 1865 he sold this and took his family west to a farm near Summum, IL, which in time grew into a half section.
Levi Henry was a life-long member of the Reformed Church, active as a Sunday School worker and a delegate at many classical and synodical meetings. In Summum he helped build the firstchurch in that community, under the pastorate of Rev. George Weber.
He was Master of Woodland Grange, and active member of the Masons, a life-time Republican and, with Mrs. Diehl, belonged to the Order of the Eastern Star. They retired from the farm in 1888 to a home in Astoria, Fulton Co., IL.
Elizabeth Diehl Albright was told by her cousin, Mary Sudduth Diehl Voelker, that Levi Henry was not well for several years before he died. Mary's father, Harry Levi Diehl said to her that when he would transport Grandpa from one place to another in the wagon, Grandpa would always have a jug along. Our guess is that, although he was a very religious man, and not a drinker, he suffered considerably from arthritis in his final years, and the jug became a constantcompanion "for medicinal purposes".
