From The Blaine Journal of 2 Feb 1917:
Joseph Lefavor, a widely known Civil war veteran, passed away at the home of
his son Jasper a short distance east of Blaine on Monday. He had been in feeble
health for several years, but appeared not to be sick during his last days.
Death apparently was due to a general decline from old age.
Joseph Lefavor was born at Athens, Ohio, Jan. 22, 1839. At the age of 15 the
family moved to Missouri. March 10, 1861, he was united in marriage to Laura
Parker, who survives him. To this union 12 children were born. At the outbreak
of the Civil war he enlisted in Company H 1st Missouri cavalry and served until
the close of the war with honor, filling the position of bugler. In 1873, with
his family, he moved to Minnesota and resided there until 1893, when he and his
wife, with their youngest child, came west to Blaine and have resided here
since.∼A Union Army Civil War veteran.
