obituary notice for Levi Pettis

Hello!

My husband & I have just started researching our family roots, and we believe that the Levi Pettis, son of Mortimer & father to Hiram is indeed my husband's great,great,great,great grandfather. He is a direct descendent of Hiram & Malinda. I have "pedigree" charts that begin with Mortimer.

My father-in-law has an obituary notice for Levi, which is how we are relatively certain we are discussing the same person. He is known to be a military drummer boy, and sprang bear traps with his nose & did indeed live to be 111 years old. If anyone has any more information, please contact me at homeschoolmama@comcast.net My FIL will be getting us a photocopy of the original newspaper clipping within the week if anyone is interested in my typing it in.

Thank you!
