My Genealogy Hound

DANIEL J. LEVAN. The career of this gentleman has been marked with industry, enterprise and well directed efforts that have been rewarded, as he is now the proprietor of a good farm in Allen Township, Northampton County, besides a gristmill, containing the improved roller system of machinery. He is at present residing at Seigfried’s Bridge, and he is much esteemed by the residents. He is the son of Daniel and Eliza (Deily) Levan, and was born in this county April 2, 1862. His father was also born in this county, while his mother was a native of Lehigh County. The former has been a lifelong farmer, making his home in Allen Township, where he was the owner of a good estate until his decease, which sad event occurred in 1884. His good wife followed him to the better land some years later, dying February 4, 1894. In politics the father of our subject was a Democrat, and took an active interest in local affairs. He was a member of the Reformed Church, and lived a Christian life.

Daniel J. Levan has spent his entire life thus far in his native county, and obtained his education in its common schools. In 1881 he was married to Miss Mary Leh, who was born in this county June 30, 1862, and was the daughter of Abram and Sarah (Flick) Leh, the former of whom is deceased, and her mother makes her home with Mr. Levan and his wife.

In his political relations Mr. Levan follows in the footsteps of his honored father, and casts his vote in favor of the Democratic candidates. His landed possessions comprise seventy acres, which by industry he has developed into a fertile tract, erecting thereon all the needful farm buildings. His gristmill is located near Siegfried, and in this branch of industry he is meeting with fair success.
