Obituary & Burial

  • An Obituary for Levi Cantrall appeared on Tuesday, 28 Feb 1860, in The Daily Illinois State Journal, Springfield, Illinois. Died

    Levi Cantrall, one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, has left us for the scenes and enjoyments of another sphere. He died calmly after forty-two days of suffering. His wife was constantly with him, and tenderly ministered to his wants. His family and numerous friends surrounded his bed, and in perfect sanity, and while exhorting to temperance and godliness his friends and neighbors, he breathed his last. He died on the 20th of February, 1860. He was born October 1, 1787, in Botetourt county, Virginia. His father, Joshua Cantrall, emigrated to Mercer county, Kentucky, when Levi was five years old. Levi Cantrall was married in Kentucky and removed thence with his family to Ohio, in 1811, where he resided until 1819, when he came to Illinois. He passed through Springfield in December of that year. There was then only one log cabin and five acres of prairie broken. He settled on his “Cantrall Creek” farm that winter and has lived there ever since – a period of 41 years. He was in the army of the United States in the Northwest during the war of 1812. Of a gentle disposition, scrupulously honest and strictly moral he was always surrounded by friends. His whole life has been a “living epistle” of Religion, Honesty and Temperance. He lived to see his whole family comfortably settled in his adopted State. He was gathered to his Father’s garner at the ripe age of seventy-two. Requiescat in pace.2
