LEVY, AARON. The subject of this sketch was born in Russian Poland, September 15, 1830. In 1851 he, 
with his brother Louis, came to New York, where he remained for two years. In 1853 he came to 
California, via Panama, arriving at San Francisco in the fall. There he engaged in the dry goods business, 
which he continued until 1857, when he went to Napa and remained until 1859. He then engaged in 
merchandising with H. Cohn, about one mile below the present site of Lakeport, to which place they 
moved their stock of goods at the end of a year. In about a year they admitted H. Charmark as a 
partner in the firm, and kept him in charge of the business. Mr. Levy then went to Virginia City, and 
engaged in the Lakeport, and engaged with Mr. Aaron Levy in the general merchandise business, 
where he has since resided. He was married April 29, 1878, to Miss Minnie Levy, and their children are 
Golda and Ellis.
