At his residence, in Fayette county, on the 16th of January 1868, Mr. Levi M. TODD. In early manhood he remembered his obligations to love and serve the Lord. With repentant heart, he sought and obtained the forgiveness of his sins and the renewal of his moral nature, and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in whose communion he lived an acceptable and devoted member until removed to the church triumphant. He served the church for a considerable time in the responsible office of “ruling elder.” In the various social relations of life, as a husband, father, neighbor, friend, etc., it may be justly said of him, “he was a good man and true.” In the order of Providence he was called to pass through a long season of afflication; yet he bore it all with much patience and submission. So gently ebbed his life away that the watchers around his bed could scarcely tell when his spirit was dismissed from the body.
