 Levi Hoy


Levi Hoy had the honor of being the first

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.
