From Geneva Advertiser 16 February 1904

Alfred B. Levet, whose severe illness was mentioned in the last issue, died at his 
home on Lyceum street last Thursday afternoon, February 11, at three o'clock. We 
almost knew from the nature of the man, his build, make-up, that if he had a fully-
developed case of typhoid fever, it would prove fatal. And so it has. Mr. Levet came 
to Geneva about fourteen years ago, a splendid mechanic, cabinet maker and finisher. 
There was not enough of that class of work so he took to building, contracting, had a 
shop and tools with steam engine to drive his machinery, and was doing well. About 
twelve years ago he married the youngest daughter of Mrs. E. W. Harrington by whom 
two young boys are left. He was just getting on what we call "Easy Street," when he 
suffered a nervous chill, it developed into typhoid. He grew worse, and Thursday 
ended it all. A sad case, a sad case, a very sad case. His wife is none too well, and 
her mother has been an invalid for nearly two years. There's no one to carry on the 
business he built up, and it must cease, will probably be sold out.
