Eli Levin, M.D., has been engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at 
Detroit for the past eight years and is known as one of the successful men in 
his field. A son of Moses and Leah (Broudo) Levin, he was born at Toronto, 
Canada, November 18, 1886, and obtained his early education in the common and 
high schools of that place, graduating from high school when he was fifteen 
years of age. At that time he went to work, holding always in mind that if he 
were to acquire the medical education and training he desired, he must raise 
the money through his own efforts. In 1914, he graduated from the Chicago 
College of Medicine and Surgery and entered upon the active practice of his 
profession at South Wilmington, Illinois, subsequently removing to Gardner, 
Illinois, where he practiced until the outbreak of the World War in 1917. At 
that time, he entered the Medical Corps, receiving the commission of first 
lieutenant, and served fourteen months in France with Base Hospital No. 115, 
Fifth Division. Upon his discharge in August, 1919, Doctor Levin came to 
Detroit, where he has since engaged in a general medical and surgical 
practice. He has been unusually successful and is recognized as one of the 
leading young doctors of this city. In September, 1919, he married Belle 
Bernstein, who was born in Canada and came to Detroit with her parents when 
she was six years of age. To Doctor and Mrs. Levin have been born two 
children, Mortimer and Leah. Doctor Levin is a member of Gardner Lodge No. 
573, F. & A. M., the Bloomington Consistory, and Ansar Temple of the Mystic 
Shrine. He is also a member of the Army and Navy Club, Washington Club, 
American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Military Order of the World 
War. He retains membership in B'nai B'rith.
