Levi signed up for three years service, beginning in Nov. 1861. He completed his three-year's service in November 1864, leading to his mustering out. He did not re-enlist in the regiment as so many others did for the duration of the war in January 1864. Those that did re-enlist at that time were called veteran volunteers and were mustered out in October 1865. It was not unusual for a soldier not to re-enlist, especially for someone of his age. There were also issues within the Fifth regiment, with many soldiers being unsatisfied with their commanding officers, which led many to decide to call it quits in late 1864. Hope this helps.
