Biography

This profile is part of the Brunson Name Study.

Levi was born in 1841. Levi Brunson ... He passed away in in 1909 or 1910 and is buried in the Mitchell Valley Cemetery in Mitchell, Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska. Find A Grave: Memorial #25652919

Note: Findagrave has him dying in 1909, but there is no date on his stone and someone added that military pension records list Levi's death as March 16, 1910. I checked FS & Anc. for military & death records in Neb (where he is buried) and IA (last residence per census) and could not find a record of his death with either date. I also checked Fold3 and could only see the card dated 1889 when he filed for a pension. Also did not see a application order for his tombstone. McClintock-715 02:42, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
