Biography of Levi Woodward (1830-1882)
Levi Jacob Woodard was born in Wayne County, Indiana to parents prominent in the Friends. In the spring of 1856, he settled in the district now known as Hesper in Douglas County, entering into farming and other business. He held various local positions in the county and state.
Originally an Abolitionist, Woodward was connected with the Republican Party since its organization. In the spring of 1866 he was appointed United States Indian agent for the Sacs and Foxes. Woodard, whose family name was legally restored to "Woodward" around 1883, was married to Sarah Anne Hadley.
