Levi W. Reiter  at first started out teaching school for one or two terms and after getting married he went to farming on the west 60 acrss of the quarer section, in the southeast corner of Summit Co.  Here is an incident that I consider of interest and at the same time contains the solid truth:  On one Sunday morning,( I do not know the datem, but it must have been in June, (at least we assembled there to spend the Sunday)  it happened that threeor four teams came and as Levi was out of hay and he had mowed just enough grass for his own horses he had to go and mow a little for our horses,  and we all went along.   When we came to the field Levi went along the fence looking for his whet stone which he was not finding, when one of the men said, "Well , why don't  you have a place for your things, so you could find them," and Levi said," That is just esactly what I have got,  I have a place for everything and everything at its place, but i have such a dickens of a time to remember the place".

Levi has ventured into a great many different things.  When the Valley Railroad was built,  Levi, got the job of building the fence all along on both sides of the road, from Cleveland to Canton, and I do not remember, but think on down to Carrolton and Coshocton.  After that he went down into Ky. and built a =long on other roads, but failed, I believe, in getting all his money.  He came back to Canton and worked at carpentering and contracting on a small scale, but he is too honest to make money at the contracting business.  He has always had to work; is a fine and good fellow; address 733 High st., canton,Stark,Ohio.
