VETERAN OF
TWO WARS
IS NO MORE
Major Levi Epler Died Sunday
at Age of 91 Years. Had
Fought in the Mexican and
Civil Wars.
Major Levi Epler, aged 91 years, a
veteran of tbe Mexican war, and of the
Civil war, and one of Reynoldsvllle's
most honored citizens, died Sunday
June 9, 1907, at the home of his son,
Charles H. Epler, on Main street.
Burial was made in the Baptist
cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
Levi Epler's life covered a wonderful
span of American history, and it fell
to his lot to Bbare in tbe glory of two of
tbe nation's greatest wars, and live to
witness the nation's victory In a third.
In tbe year James Monroe was in
augurated president of tbe United
State, Mr. Epler was born on a farm
in Snyder county, Pennsylvania. Left
an orphan in mere chllubood he was
bound out and In his youth learned tbe
trade of cabinet making and painting,
learned habits of Industry that stayea
with him even to the last days of feeble
old age When he was 25 Polk became
president, the Mexican war was de
clared and ttie young man, eager for
adventure enlisted for service under
General Wlnfleld Scott. With Soott
he made the memorable landing at
Vera Cruz and was one of tbe gallant
little band of veterans that fought their
way over two hundred miles of hostile
country, against overwhelming odds, to
the ancient city of Mexico. The
hlstorio names of Vera Cruz, Cerra
Gordo, San Antonio and Cburubusco, at
each of which warm battles were
fought, were familiar In every det-ll to
Mr. Epler, who often told In after years
the tale of how tbe gallant army wasted
away to scarcely (1,000 men, finally
fought their way foot by foot into the
very palace of tbe ancient Montezumas,
Returning from tbe adventurous
scenes of war, Mr. Epler went, to Sny
der county again, but In 1849 scent
sume time in Ohio, being married that
year at Clrcleville, Pickaway county, to
Miss Rebecca Wilbatn. With her he
lived happily for 28 yearn, until her
death In Deo. 187.7. Nine sons and
daughters were born unto them, all but
one of wbom lived to survive Mr. Ep
ler.
When tbe great civil war was pre
cipitated by the firfng on Fort Sumpter
In April, 1801, all the loyalty In the
Mexican veteran's heart awoke afresh
and once more he rushed to the nation's
capital to defend- the old flag. At
Washington, D. C, May 6, 1861, he en
listed as a private, in Company B, fith
Regiment Penn'a Reserves, Volunteer
Infantry, but was Immediately promoted
to first lieutenant and shortly after,
January 11, 1862, was made captain.
Under Col. W. W. RiekettB he fought
with his regiment throughout, the war
and gave a gallant account of himself
In some of the greatest battles in tbe
world's history. Among others, Gaines
Mills June 27, 1802: Groveton August
28-29, 1862; Second Bull Run August
30. 1862; South Mountain September 17,
1862; Fredericksburg Deo. 13. 18(3: Dan
ville Dec. 20, 1862; Brlstoe Station Oct.
14, 1802; Autietam Sept. 17. 1802; Get
tysburg, July 1-3, 1863; New Hope
Church Nov. 28, 1863; and finally In the
terrible Battle of tbe Wilderness under
Grant where he received a severe
wound and was confined in the Armory
Square hospital in Washington, D. C,
for a time. After recovering he re
joined his regiment and fought with
Grant In the famous attacks on Rich
mond until June 11, 1884, when be was
honorably discharged at Harrisburg,
Pa., by reason of expiration of his term
of service.
The most distinguished service of
his life was rendered In the Wilderness
battles and on the 10th day of May,
1865, he was made Major by brevet.
The order for his promotion, a parch
ment scrool bearing the signatures of
President Andrew Johnston and Edwin
M. Stanton, secretary of war, is yet
preserved In the home of his son.
Charles H. Epler and If one of the most
treasured relics of tbe military days of
the old hero. ,
After the close of the war Major
Epler returned to the quiet pursuits of
industrial life. In Deo. 1879, ho was
married to Sarah Mumford and there
after resided In Reynoldsville, following
bis trade. On March 19, 1902, be
was left a widower and spent tbe
remainder of bis days with bis son,
Charles. Of a strong and vigorous con
stitution by nature, he retained great
activity even to the passing of tbe
nine. loth milestone In life's journey.
He was the oldest veteran In Reynolds
ville, probably lni the ciunty. His
record was known to all and this, with
his absolute integrity and upright
character, gained tbe highest esteem of
the community in which be lived so
long.
Tbe surviving sons and daughters
are: William Epler, of Baltimore;
Mrs. James McArtbur, of Sbamokln,
Pa., Samuel Epler, of Reynoldsville;
Mrs. !Orvl Harvey, of Sbamokln, Pa.;
Mrs. Lilly Moore, of Rathmel, Elmer
,Epler, of Baltimore; Charles H. Epler,
of Reynoldsville; Mrs. Lewis Bassler, of

was held in tbe Reynoldsville Baptist
church Tuesday afternoon at 2.00
o'clock, conducted by Dr. A. J. Meek,

AMUSEMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Queen of Arenic Exhibitions.
The fascination fur the circus which
begins In childhood and matures in
old age Is perhaps more pronounced In
this vicinity than In many other equally
populace communities. Hence wheth
er it be the "Greatest show on earth"
or tbe ''Only show on earth" no matter
what the atmospherlo conditions are
tbey are generally assured tbe most
liberal patronage. As the managers
of the different travelling organizations
have gotten together and divided ter
ritory for their respective shows Reyn
oldsville will get the John H. Sparks
Famous Shows on Thursday, June 20.
With plenty of experience and ample
capital Mr. Sparks has been enabled to
to perfect an exhibition that is satis
fying to his pride and cherished Idea.
Tbe proof of the above can be appreci
ated only by attending a Sparks per
formance. There is a flavor of novelty,
freshness, dash, vim and ginger that
stirs tbe audience to enthusiasm. Tbe
gorgeous free street parade will take
place at noon aver tbe principal streets
and several free exhibitions will be
given on tbe show grounds after tbe
parade.
''The County Fair."
The local talent entertainment, Jeffer
son County Fair, to be given In the

given Jn Reynoldsville. This is a real
County Fair with pumpkins, potatoes
and cabbage on display and real bicycle
races horse races and pig races. Plenty
of fakirs will be there with their gold
bricks and side Bhows. A real wild
man and fat lady. In fact, there will
be attractions finer and greater than
anything ever before seen in the
the county. Advertisements have been
sent to all neighboring towns and
counties and it is likely that there will
be an unusual crowd In attendance. At
any rate Jake Sprucely and his wife
have sent word that they will be on
hand and as they are related to half
tbe people of Jefterson County the
Sprucely family will likely have a re
union right in the fairgrounds. Par
son Brlggs will be out to look after
his flock and keep them away from tbe
temptations which Hre bound to He in
their paths on an occasion of this kind.
