A. Rockefeller and Dr. Leving- ston the Same Man---So Gossips Say--Married Cana- dian Young Woman. New York, Feb. 4.--The body of Dr. | William Avery Rockeicler, father the "Oil King," John D. Rockefeller, lies in an unmarked grave in Oakland | 4 year and lived two years, and then cemetery, iil. He died in that city, ty-six years eight days. For fifty years he led a double Under the assumed name of Dr. liam levingston he farmed and sold medicine of his own decoction in Hli- nois and North Dakota. During those same years he occasionally appeared at the homgs of his sons and among | his old acquaintances in tho cast as Dr. William A. Rockefeller. During thirty-four years of the fifty he had two wives. One was Mrs. Eliza Davison Rockefeller, the mother of John D. Rockefeller. The other was Mrs. Margaret L ton. The first wife, Mrs, mother of the richest world, he married in New York state, in 1837, She died in New York, in 1580, at the age of seventy-five The second wife, Mrs. Leviugston, he married in Ontario, in 1866, while his first wife was living with her five chil- dren in Cleveland, Ohio. This second wile is now living in Freeport, Ill, a charmipg, white-haired, Christian wo- man of seventy years. Dr. Rockefeller was forty-five years old when he deserted his wife and fam- ily in Cleveland and went to Canada, under the assumed name of Wil Livingston, married Miss Mar- garet L. Allen, a pretty girl of twen- ty. For fifty years she lived with him as his wife, never. knowing until just before hie died that her husband was a higamist Until a fel before his death she did not know that he was William A. Rockefeller that he had been indicted in New York state Even now she will not say that he was William A. Rockefeller "We lived happily together for fifty years, and I shall be a true woman to the end," she says. During the last twenty-five years of his lif Dri Rockefeller's whereabouts and the existence the other wife were known to his sons, John D. and | Francis Rockefeller, and to his son-in- law, Pierson D. Briggs, of Cleveland But no one else in all the world knew. I'he first Mrs. Rockefeller lived thir- ty-four years after -he deserted her and died without knowing that her hus- baiid had takgn a girl of twenty in her stead. And ali the members of the Rocke feller family, except these four men, knew nothing of it, William A. Rockefellers marriage has been the skileton in the family of the "0il King." DBecduse of the existence of this sccond wife the secret of his whereabouts hes been guarded by the only four persons who knew it. They have been importuned by other members of the family, pro- minent New York, Cleveland, Chi cago, but they would not say a word. Once since hs disappearance the old man visited his son, Frank Rockefeller, on hus ranch in Belvidere, Kan., and spent two weeks shooting quail and prairie chickens: Twice he visited his son John D. Rockefeller ; at the latter's home near Cleve- and once at his home in Pon- N.Y. Other members of the fa were ignorant of these visits un- the old man had returned to west, a consid- in the last be Freeport, May 11th, tive months and twenty- and, liam years of bigamous m to tell, once land, tiac, mily til after his mysterious home in the the elder Rockefeller lost erable amount of property few years of We life, and what came of it is a mystery yet to his widow in I'reeport. Throughout all the their life together he kept knowledge of his business aliairs from his wite She believed that he was wealthy, But in his last years there was a great scarcity of money in the family, so much so that his wife, "Mrs. Leving- ston," seriously contemplated pledg- ing the old man's diamond to . get money; to pay thie physician who "at- tended him, and after his death she found omly a few thousand dollars leit. She has been hunting ever since to find out what became of the for- tune she thought he had. The records of Walsh county, N.D., show that the 466-acre farm he owned there was sold to his sonia-law, Pierson D Briggs, for $10,000. What became of that money she does not know. It was not in her husband's estate when he died. Persons in the neighborhood pf Nor wich who remember her describe his second wife as a pretty and charmiysy girl. She was only twenty years old "br. Leviogston" was forty-six. He made love to her, and after a court ship of two or three years they wire married in 1855, 3 "Pr. Levingston's'" ligal wile, Mrs. Eliza Davison Rockefeller, and his five children were then living near Cleve- land, and he visited them several times gfter he had been married to Miss Allen, His desertion of his wife and_ child ren jeft them in "straitened circom- stances, and John D. has often told to his Sunday school classes how he tram, the strests of Cleveland in those days jn search of work. Mri. Loessing, of Norwich, Ont, a sister of Miss Allen, tells this story of the marriage of "Dr. Levingeton." "He marrind my sister after two or three years' acquaintance, and after their marriage he visited her here, about once a year for a number of years. He was a steady, temperate, man of good habits, kind 'hearted, prot ciable, and well liked by everybody. He was a famous marksman and loved to hunt. He was fond of a good story. "From here he moved to Philadel and then lived on a'farm in Illinois. Afterward he sold his farm and lived a retired life in Freeport, Hm." sn Pr.

After the Levingstons sold the farm to Currier they boarded with him for { they moved to Freeport, Ill, and Mrs: {tage there across the street from her | brother, V. Allen, a photographer. 2, and she has lived since, making ogcasional | summer trips to her former home in | Norwich, Canada. { During the last eight years of his" {life Dr. Levingston was too fat and {unwieldy and infirm to live much up- {on the Dakota farm, and those vears were spent quietly with his wife in his {home in Freeport, with the exception of the two trips he made to visit his ison, John D. He weighed then 250 | pounds, and his feet were much swol- len with gout. The last three days of s life he was almost blind and was co deaf that he could not hear a con- Versation carried on in an ordinary | tone of yoice. i His favorite amusemént in his latter {years was to get. all his beloved guns and "nurse" them. He would take them apart, oil and wipe them, and admire them for hours and tell stories of hunting adventures. He talked much of his big ranch "up north" and of the fine horses he owned there He told that on the ranch he had on man who did nothing but look after kis guns. The final collapse came when he fell, January 25th, 1904, and broke his arm near the shomlder. He tried to git on a chair, missed and fell to the floor, throwing oul his drm to save himself His physician, J " White, did not expeet the fracture to heal in so old aman, and for weeks he was near death. From the nurses who attended him then is learned the story of the old man's last days "He was delirious much of the time, and in imagination he was transport ed back to the old days when he was 'Doe' Rockefeller, in New York Ohio. He bhabbled the names of Eliza John, William. Francis, Lucy and | Mary--his wife, sons and daughters He said often to kis wife in his deliri lous moments : 'You are Eliza ¥" The old man did not die from the ef fecte of the "fractured arm." He lived until May of the next year, but he was bedridden all the time, and was cared for constantly by his wile. Her niece, Miss Maggie lLoessing, of Can- ada, was also in the house. She was a cripple and had not walked since she was twelve vears old. She brought to Freeport from Canada by Dr. Levingston {of treatment in the sanitarium of Dye. J, T. White S. it and not my wife. Where is was What Freeport Thinks. Freeport, Hl, Feb. 5.--The news of the publication in the New York World of an eight-column article de claring that the body of Dr. William Avery Rockefeller, father of John D Rockefeller, lies in an unmarked grave in Oakland cemetery caused little ex- citement here. Freeport people did en ough talking in July, 1905, when the Chicago Tribune first announced the possibility that Dr. William Levings tou was the father of the oil king For thirtysix years Dr. Levingston had lived in Freeport as travelling physician and vendor of medicives which had been the business of the elder Rockefellcr. The suspicion of a dual lie was aroused by the publica tion of a photograph «f William A Rockefeller, in McClure's Magazine of July, 1405. Its remarkable resem- blance to Levingston was commented upon by residents, who declared it was an actual portrait of their fel low citizen. O, F. Potter, the Tri bune's- correspondent, wrote to Me Clure's and asked if some mistake had not been made, but the cditor replied that there was no doubt as to itsle ing & likeness of the oil king's father There was no opportunity to ques tion Levingston himself, 2s he was more than ninéty years of age, feeble both in mind and body, entirely deaf and nearly blind. Even his -wife could not communicate with him and she herself wavkred in her belief as to his being Rockefeller or Levingsten. When interview by the Tribune she said: "I don't know what to think { | know no more about it than vou." This has been her attitude ever since, ag her husband died on May 11th, 1906, withoat divulging the secret he #- said to have possessul. Mrs. Levingston 'knew ypraciicelly nothing. of her husband's early life, and said that he had refused £5 ans wer any questions even 'in the days of their - courtship. IF He went away on trips, during which he did not communicate with his wife. He was loyal to her, howev- er, despite the present allezations that when Ke married her his first wife, the mother of John D. Rockefel- ler, was still alive. ; - In Freeport Dr. Levingston wes the same roving, mysterious person he had been in Ohio. He was seldom at home. He would be gone for months and come back with a great roll of money, which he would display. He would go to small towns, put up at a hotel Stor a week or so, getting out handbills, and . advertising himself "the celebrated Pr. Levingston." flo advertised to cure anything, but made a soecialty of cancer and kidney t A "Miss Tarbell described him exactly in her articl and the pictore she printed of William A. Rockefeller was a perfect likeness to Dr. Levingston. He never wore a necktie, and. 'a hig diamond always was bldred in the hosom of his 'white shirt." These facts have been canvassed over and over again by the people of Freeport and they have never come to # definite anserr to 'the question Wilj oes Will D, mar lega Nor Rovkefeller. 1908. did in other ur | ther of John ton was Les lilinols A.
