By 1860, he was married to Lib (Elizabeth, 1840- ), with whom he had a daughter, Flora B. or Florabel (Feb. 26, 1859-Oct 2, 1931.). Smith enlisted in Company I, First Michigan Engineers and Mechanics on Dec. 23 1862. He served as an artificer. On March 10, 1865, Smith died of disease in Detroit, where he was buried. Lib apparently married a second man named Smith by Oct. 8, 1865. With her second husband she had three more children: George L. Smith, Arthur G. Smith, and Mrs. Carrie Sampson, and two step-daughters. Flora married Charles F. Fowler on Jan. 15, 1880, with whom she had three sons. Levi's brother, George W. Smith, and cousin, Henry D.
