Levi Andrew Bowen was born February 3, 1839, the son of William & Mary Smith Bowen, and was the husband of Martha Jane Whistler Bowen, whom he married February 3, 1867, at Shiremanstown, Cumberland County. In 1860, he was a blacksmith presumably living in Fairview Township, York County. He stood 5' 5" tall and had black hair and brown eyes. At his death, he was a resident of Fairview Township.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-three in Harrisburg December 17, 1861, and mustered into federal service there December 20 as a private with Co. H, 7th Pennsylvania Reserves (36th Pennsylvania Infantry). Wounded in the left arm and chest and captured at the battle of White Oak Swamp on June 30, 1862, he was soon exchanged and eventually returned to active duty. He then re-enlisted as a Veteran Volunteer February 25, 1864, at Washington DC only to be captured again at the battle of the Wilderness on May 5, 1864, and ultimately incarcerated in the stockade at Andersonville, Georgia. He was paroled at Northeast Ferry, North Carolina, to date February 27, 1865, and eventually was admitted to the military hospital at York, Pennsylvania. He transferred to Co. H, 190th Pennsylvania Infantry, to complete his term of service as the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps had ended its existence nearly a year before and discharged by surgeon's certificate to date May 16, 1865.
