Levi Hoy
rural mail carrier in Fulton County Ohio, carrying on a route out of Wauseon, and one of the first three to be appointed in the state. His salary was less then $500 and the route that he covered was about 24 miles. He furnished his own horse and buggy and paid his own expenses with no additional allowance. Mr. Hoy was the right man in the right place and his route proved popular and the result was of great force in establishing free rural delivery in the United States. From that time on for a period of twenty years he continued
as a carrier on a rural route out
of Wauseon. Levi was in the Civil War and enlisted in the Union Army in 1861 and served until the close of the war. He was a brave soldier and saw some of the hardest service of the war. He was ever loyal to the flag of his country and to the high principles
of American Citizenship. He was a member of Legion Post. Grand Army of the Republic and served as it's commander. He was president of the regimental association. He always took an active part in all affairs of the Civil war veterans.
