"Isaac Levy ....... "A true Israelite without
guile - - a soldier of the Lord & a soldier of the South, a noble patriot."
"Gusta brought me the sad news of the death of
Isaac Levy, a fine young soldier, killed in the trenches near Petersburg. He & his brother Ezekiel Levy have observed
their religion faithfully, ever since they have been in the army, never even eating forbidden food. He leaves a devoted father
& mother brothers & sisters to mourn his loss." Emma Mordecai, diary, Aug. 24, 1864.
"Went to see Mrs. Levy whose son Isaac was killed
near Petersbg. on Sunday 21st. Was greatly interested in my visit to the family. Isaac was an example to all young men of
any faith--to those of his own most especially. A true Israelite without guile--a soldier of the Lord & a soldier of the
South. A noble patriot. His parents & sisters mourn for him as those mourn who while full of love, are also full of Faith
and Hope and submission. If all our people were like that family, we would already arise & shine for our light would have
come." Emma Mordecai, diary, Aug. 30, 1864.
