bullet Levi W. BENTON Photo was born on 26 Feb 1830 in Cabot, Vermont. He died on 11 Nov 1898 in Marshfield, Vermont. He was buried in Marshfield Village Cemetery. Levi moved into his parents' log cabin after the death of his mother. He cleared the farm, improved and drained the land, and built the house and barn now standing there (1940). Levi had a stentorian voice, and when driving his oxen in his field on a quiet day, his talk and commands directed at his team could be heard in the village a mile away. The night that Evan McCrillis' house burned just below Levi's farm, Levi was first to see the flames. He jumped from bed, hastily put on his clothes, including his leather boots and started down the road loudly calling "Fire!" Finding that his boots were on the wrong feet and hurt so that he could hardly travel, he attempted to change them but found that he could not remove them without a bootjack or help. Again and again he stopped and tried to remove his boots, but in vain. Those who had arrived at the fire by then could follow his painful progress down the road by hearing him alternately calling "Fire!" and complaining of his boots. Many are said to have arrived at the fire before he did. The accompanying photograph has not yet been positively identified as Levi Benton. Parents: Willard BENTON and Mehitabel Tubbs.
