HENRY D. LIVEZEY contractor, P.O. Doylestown, was born in 
Warrington township, Bucks county, August 31, 1833, and is a

trade in Doylestown. He has resided here since 1851.  He has 
built more houses in the borough than any other man, and has 
been a contractor for twenty years.  He owns four houses in
