OLD RESIDENT PASSES BEYOND

Levi Slinker was born October 21, 1842 in Mason County, Illinois, and resided 
there until the age of fourteen when he came with his parents to Warren 
County, Iowa, and later returned to Illinois. He enlisted on the 11th day of 
July, 1862 and was mustered into the U.S. Service at Camp Douglas, Chicago, 
Illinois as a private of Captain Wm. H. Weaver Company G 71st regiment, Ill. 
Infantry. He was honorably discharged from Chicago, Ill. on the 29th day of 
October 1862. He was united in marriage to Anna M. Heoulette on the 18th day 
of March, 1863 from which union were born six children, all of whom are 
living. In the spring of 1907 he and his wife moved to Payette, Idaho, where 
he resided until his death, which occurred on December 12, 1919 at the Holy 
Rosary Hospital, Ontario, Oregon, following an operation. His wife, Anna M. 
Slinker, died October 13, 1912, and on January 2nd, 1914, he was married to 
Susan E. Schmuch of Des Moines, Iowa, who with his children, namely, Mrs. P. 
A. Creger, Mrs. H. B. Strawn and E. L. Slinker of Fruitland, J. C. Slinker of 
Payette, Mrs. W. S. King of Fillmore, Cal., and A. V. Slinker of Peru, Ia. and 
twenty-seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren and four sisters and 
four brothers are left to mourn his death.

The interment was from the Methodist Church of which he had been one of the 
leading members and worker.

The funeral was largely attended. The G.A.R. being present in a body, and the 
American Legion being in charge. The service was a fitting tribute to the high 
moral and religious character of the man as well as to his wide experience, 
extensive friendships and kindly deeds.
