2. Censuses:

Ira, son, 4, IA OH Eng.
John Jones, laborer, other, 24, VA OH VA.
Unsure if this is the right Levy or not since birthdates are off four years or so; however, I can account for all the other Levis in my database as not being the one who follows thereby leaving this Levi as the most likely match. Appears as a patient at the insane asylum:
1910 US: St. Bernards Sanatorium for Insane, 1st Ward Council Bluffs, Kane Township, Potta., IA, p. 20b:
Levi Graybill, inmate, single, 60, US US US.
1920 US: St. Bernards Hospital, Council Bluffs, Kane Township, Potta., IA, p. 125b, entry 188:
Levi Graybill, patient, single, 70, Unk. US US.
3. Susan Easton Black, compiler, "Early Members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," (Religious Studies Center, BYU, 1993, copy in Family History Library in Salt Lake City): "Graybill, Levy A., Source: Early Reorganization Minutes, 1852-71, book A, p. 308."
BIRTH:
1. Lewis book quoted below uses variant birth date of 1855. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 16-24: "Levi A. Graybill, b. 10 Nov 1855, Pottaw. Co., IA." If 1855 is correct,that would leave only 9 1/2 months between this birth and that of the older brother Sidney. Censuses seem to be closer to 1856/7.
SOURCES_MISC:
1. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 90-91.
