Albert L. Levy - The opportunities of the farmers of Henry County are the 
outgrowth of the privations and struggles of the pioneer men and women who 
came in the early days of the county's history. The farmer is reaping today where 
the pioneer labored and sowed. Albert L. Levy was born February 15, 1870, in 
Fairview township, Henry County, the son of Thomas J. and Frances (Dunning) 
Levy, who were natives of Illinois and Kentucky, respectively. Thomas J. Levy 
was born in 1834 in Illinois and with his parents, Franklin and Nancy A. Levy, who 
were natives of Illinois, came to Clinton township, Henry County, in the very 
early days of the incoming settlers to Henry County. Thomas Levy received his 
education amongst the pioneer surroundings and conditions, helping in the 
building of the home and reclaiming the wild land to cultivated fertility. He 
married Nancy Dunning, who was born in Caldwell County, Kentucky, and came 
with her parents, Henry and Nancy (McFarland) Dunning, to Henry County in 1848. 
She was the mother of two children, Harry, deceased, and Albert L., of this 
sketch. She passed away in 1876. Thomas J. Levy, after leaving his son Albert L. 
with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dunning, went to New Mexico and later 
to Arizona, where he was interested in mining and also farming. He died in 1902. 
Albert Levy was educated in the district schools and cared for by his 
grandparents, who are now deceased. He has farmed for many years, purchasing a

Mrs. Levy have one child, Pearl Frances, born in 1904, and is attending the 
Deepwater High. School. Mr. Levy is a Democrat and is a member of the Baptist
