LEVI ULRICH DIES FRIDAY
BORN ON A FARM IN WAYNE COUNTY--THREE TIMES REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS COUNTY
Levi Ulrich, 68, a well-known business man of Greensboro and a former member of the Indiana general assembly for three consecutive terms from Henry county, passed away at his home in Greensboro, Friday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock, as a result of a paralytic stroke which came upon him week before his death, brought on by chronic rheumatism. He had been a sufferer from rheumatism for a number of years. It was intense at times. While his death was not wholly unexpected, yet it came as a great shock to his many Henry county friends.
Mr. Ulrich was born on a farm near Hagerstown where his mother, Mrs. Margaret Ulrich, still lives at the age of 92 years. Deceased was the son of David Ulrich, whose death occurred a number of years ago. When a young man, Levi Ulrich came to Henry county and located at Greensboro, where for five years or more he taught school, many of the present inhabitants of the town having gone to school to him. Since quitting the school room, Mr. Ulrich has been one of the active business men of Greensboro and made a success while conducting a grocery store. He was first nominated as a candidate to the Indiana general assembly on Feb. 16, 1904, defeating the late Charles S. Hernly by 351 votes. He was elected the following November and served the county in the capacity of representative three consecutive terms. In the primary of 1906 he had a plurality of 518 votes over George Elliott. There were three candidates that year--Mr. Ulrich, George Elliott and Benjamin F. Koons. In the primary of 1908 there were four candidates for the legislature. They were J. Leb Watkins, Levi Ulrich, William F. Byrket and Wrighter R. Steele. Mr. Ulrich had a plurality over Watkins of 249 votes. He was elected that fall. During the time he was in the legislature he had much to do with a number of progressive measures enacted by that body, and he became well known over the state. After his third term he retired from politics, devoting his entire time to his business at Greensboro. Besides his grocery, he also added to his enterprises a grist mill. Although a prosperous business man Mr. Ulrich never allowed his business methods to stand in the way of helping out his neighbors, and his friends at Greensboro are many.
He is survived by quite a number of relatives. His widow, Mrs. Martha Ulrich, still lives, and two daughters, Mrs. Oscar Wood, of North Yakima, Wash., and Mrs. Maud Manifold, of Bluffton, ind., and son Alvin, of Greensboro, survive. Besides his mother, he is also survived by one brother, Lon Ulrich, of Walden, Colo., an employee of the government, and three sisters, two of whom are Mrs. Phoebe Rinehart and Mrs. Susan Johnsonbaugh, of near Hagerstown. P. H. Wolfram, assistant secretary of state, is a nephew.
