LEVI ZELLERS, son of Bartholomew and Rose A. (Miller) Zellers, of Loganville, 
Penn., was born at Stewartstown, Hopewell Township, in 1817.  He was reared and 
educated in the same township, where he has lived on the homestead, which he and 
his brother inherited at the death of his father, subsequently buying his 
brother’s interest in the farm (136) acres).  In 1838 he was married to Lavina 
Edie, of Hopewell Township, who died in 1877, leaving six children:  Lydia A., 
Andrew, William, Mary, Louisa and Samuel.  Mr. Zellers is a member of the 
Stewartstown Presbyterian Church.  He is now living with his son, William, who 
bought the farm from him in 1882.  William Zellers was born in 1843, and in 1875 
was married to Esther J. Anderson, of Hopewell Township, and has one son, James 
Lee Zellers.
