LEVI J. VOSHELL, farmer and stock-raiser, was born at his present residence--the land 
having been entered by his father about 1825--passed his boyhood on the farm, and
received but little schooling.  He remained at home until his majority, and October 19,
1859, married Miss Sarah, daughter of William R. and Rebecca S. (Chambers) Mannan,
natives respectively of Virginia and North Carolina.  To this union were born three child-
ren, two of whom are living--Manda A. (now Mrs. Whittaker) and Emma R.  In Sept-
ember, 1864, Mr. Voshell enlisted in Company F, Twenty-fifth Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, seving in the Atlanta campaign;  he was also in Gen. Sherman's famous
march to the sea, and was engaged in the taking  of Savannah and Columbia.  After
the grand review at Washington, he was discharged June, 1865, and returned to his
home and the duties of his farm, having 588 acres in Morgan, Owen and Putnam
Counties, which are well improved, cultivated and adorned, containing a number of
short-horn cattle and other stock.  Mr. Voshell, aided by his wife, has been more than
usually successful.  They are members of the Baptist Church, and respected members 
of their community.  Mr. Voshell is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a very
earnest Democrat.
