Tower, Levi H.
The Shasta Courier, November 18, 1865

In San Francisco. Nov. 12th, of typhoid fever, Levi H. Tower, of Tower House, Shasta County, aged 45 years, a native of Cumberland, R.I.

L. H. Tower, whose decease we chronicle above was one of the earliest pioneers of the State and of this county. He arrived in San Francisco in June, 1849, having been one of the company who purchased and brought around the ship Edward Everett. In June, 1850, he was one of several who took passage on board a schooner and coasted north in search of Trinity river, hoping to find there a harbor that would admit of and encourage the building of a city, the Trinity mines being then esteemed the El Dorado of California. Failing to find the object of their search, the party set out from Humboldt Bay to the mines on Trinity river, established a ferry on the South Fork of that river, and opened a trail to Arcata, on the sea coast, which is still traveled.

In 1853 he purchased the site upon which the Tower House now stands. His energy and enterprise made it what it is – the best property in northern California. The friends of the deceased are many. His genial nature made him welcome everywhere, and his pleasant smile and cordial shake of the hand welcomed all visitors to the Tower House, and made his guests feel at home. The funeral will take place at the Tower House on Wednesday, 22d inst., at 1 p.m. The friends of deceased and of the family are invited to attend.
