Levi Fidler was reared to manhood in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, until he
became of age, when, in 1840, he emigrated west and settled in Union county,
Indiana, and in 1861 located in what is now Newman township, Douglas county. He
learned the carpentering business, at which he was engaged up to 1861, when he
bought what is now known as the Thomas H. Smith farm, one of the finest in the
county. He kept this farm until 1885, when he sold it. In 1842 Levi Fidler
wedded Mary Ann Hessler, a native of Bourbon township and a daughter of John and
Mary (Thomas) Hessler, who were formerly of Kentucky. To Mr. and Mrs. Fidler
were born the following children: John, Matilda, William J., Joseph S., Dan G.,
George W., Smith T., LaFayette, Sarah C., Levy Eddy, and Albert F., the subject
of this sketch. John S., William J., and Daniel G. served in the Civil war.
