HENRY LEVIN
History of Arizona, 1896

This gentleman has inherited the sturdy characteristics which 
have brought success to many of German origin and is now the 
capable and efficient assessor of Pima County, Arizona.  He was 
born in Tucson, Arizona, May 24, 1868 and is a son of Alexander 
and Zenona (Molina) Levin, the father a native of Germany and 
the mother of Sonora, Mexico.  The parents were early settlers 
of Tucson and the father followed the occupation of a brewer.  
His death occurred September 29, 1891.

During his youth Henry Levin had good educational advantages 
and for some time attended the Newton Collegiate Institute of 
Newton, New Jersey in Sussex County. Later he took a year's 
course in the Lawrence Business College of Lawrence, Kansas and 
after returning to Tucson became clerk in a general merchandise 
store.  After this he accepted the position as deputy postmaster 
at Nogales, Arizona, held that position for one year and then 
resigned to accept a place as bookkeeper in a store owned by 
Juan Bojoquez at Nogales. For two years he held that position 
and then resigned to become a partner with his father in the 
brewery business at Tucson, remaining thus connected until a 
short time before the latter's death.  He then became 
interested in the commission, real estate and brokerage 
business, met with fair success in this and was thus occupied 
until in 1892, when he was elected city assessor and collector 
of licenses of Tucson, Arizona.  This position he held one 
term and was elected to his present position in 1893.  
Reliable and competent, Mr. Levin's services were appreciated 
by the people and he was re-elected in 1894.  This position he 
is now holding.  In the month of January 1896, in company with 
R.G. Brady, Mr. Levin engaged in the broker business, dealing 
in cattle, real estate, mines and insurance.
