While working in his garden in this city, (Mauston) last Friday, September 13, 1918, Levi Judd dropped dead.

Mr. Judd was born June 17, 1844, in Ontario, Canada and was 74 years, 7 months and 27 days old at the time of his death. His life has certainly been long and eventful. In 1848, when he was four years of age, his parents moved to Kenosha county, this state, (Wisconsin) , where he lived until 1855, when they came to Summit township, this county. (Juneau County, Wisconsin)

When the Civil War broke out he was among the first to volunteer his services to preserve the union, although he was but eighteen years of age.

He served four and a half years and was a member of Company K. 25th regiment of Volunteers. During his service he was sent to Mankato, Minnesota, with his regiment to quell the Indian massacres there. He participated in the battle of Vicksburg and marched with Sherman to the sea.

At the close of the war he returned home to Summit, and on February 18, 1865, he was united in marriage to Charlotte Randall, who died October 18, 1875. A year later, (1876) he was united in marriage to Mary Jane Randall. His marriage with his first wife was blessed with five (5) children who are living, and his marriage to his second wife was blessed with 4 children, two of whom live. (at this time, 1918).

Since the time of the Civil War Mr. Judd had been a farmer until 1893 when he moved to Mauston, where he resided until his death.
