Y., 7/5/1861; foreman of the cooperage department of the Illinois prison at Joliet; entered the service of the Singer Sewing Machine Company and was stationed at Dubuque, Ia.; transferred to Jackson and Detroit, Mich.; thence to Madison, Wis., as general manager of the southern half of the state; here he remained nine years, when on 9/23/1902 he was elected by the state board of control to the position of Warden of the Wisconsin state prison at Waupun, Wis.; he was a Republican, but was elected without political influence solely upon his merits; she was a teacher, then a clerk in the office of Mr. Town at Dubuque; her business ability, coupled with her vivacity and intelligence, won his esteem, and then his love. They were married and have lived a happy life. (See engraving of Nancy Catherine (Galloway-Shinn) Levens, Mr. and Mrs. Town and their two children, p. 305.)
