   Levi Rabb, farmer, Snoddy's Mills, is a native of Warren county, Ohio, and
was born November 7, 1827, and is the son of Johnson and Mary (Ainsworth) Rabb,
who removed to Fountain county, Indiana, in 1829, and settled in Wabash
township, where they were respected pioneers and citizens. They both departed
this life about 1868, but are still fresh in the memories of many of the
pioneers of the county. The father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was at
Hull's surrender. Levi Rabb was raised on a farm, now owned by him (which was
his father's), and has followed that occupation, excepting about ten years,
which he spent in carpentering. In 1853 he married Mary J. Conover, daughter of
William and Jane (Mitchell) Conover, and a native of Virginia. Their family are:
Annie (wife of S. S. Wells), Mary (wife of J. Bartley), Albert, Jennie, William,
Libbie, and one deceased (James). Mr. Rabb is the owner of a fine farm of 387
acres, the most of which is of his own accumulation. In politics he is a staunch
republican.
