Levi is buried in the Block cemetery near the town of Pompey, lot no. 98.
The cemetery's true name is Blocktown cemetery, as listed on town deeds and was previously known as Block School House cemetery. Located on No. 5 Road at the corner of Pompey Center Road in Pompey, which is in Onondaga county, New York State. The cemetery is a real gem, set back from the road on a low rise in a grove of mostly maple trees.
