WINFIELD DEURY LEVISEUR was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 6, 1898, the son of John G.L. LeViseur and his wife, the former Mary Berger. At some point in his adult life (most likely in the 1920s) Winfield began using the "Leviseur" spelling.

John G.L. Leviseur was a native of the Alsace region of France. He worked as an insurance agent, but sadly, he died during the 1900s, leaving his wife, Mrs. Mary Leviseur, to raise their six children. Winfield was the fifth born of the six, coming after Marie, Carl, Kurt, and Edward, and before the youngest, Elizabeth. All the children were at home at the time of the 1910 Census. Mrs. Leviseur worked as a janitress at a school, and the three oldest children also worked. When the census was taken in January of 1920, Winfield Leviseur and his sister Elizabeth were living with older brother Carl Leviseur and his wife and family. Both men worked at a forge, Carl as a machinist, Winfield as a rigger. He enlisted in the United States Navy shortly thereafter.

The 1924 Camden City Directory shows Winfield Leviseur had married. He and his wife, the former Sarah Stevenson, lived at 1028 Line Street. At that time he was still in Navy. By the time the 1929 Directory was compiled, he had fulfilled his commitment to the Navy. He and wife Sarah were still living at 1028 Line Street. Winfield Leviseur was then working as a cook.

Winfield Leviseur was appointed to the Camden Fire Department on March 16, 1929. He reported for duty with Engine Company 3 at 1813 Broadway the same day. 

The April 1930 Census shows that Winfield Leviseur and his wife were living at 854 Mt. Ephraim Avenue. Their next door neighbor at 856 Mt. Ephraim Avenue was brother fire fighter Arthur Batten and his wife Mabel. Fire Department records from 1931 show that Winfield Leviceur had moved to 803 Haddon Avenue.

On March 18, 1936 Winfield Leviseur was transferred to Ladder Company 3 at North 27th Street and Federal Street in East Camden, where he served until his promotion to Junior Captain on July 1, 1939. Once promoted Winfield Leviseur was transferred to Ladder Company 2, stationed at the old Fire headquarters at North 5th and Arch Streets, where he served until May 1, 1940, when he was returned to Ladder Company 3. Another assignment came on December 13, 1942 which took him to Engine Company 7 on Kaighn Avenue. Winfield Leviseur was promoted to Senior Captain  on February 23, 1943 and to Battalion Chief on December 16, 1949. 

By 1947 Winfield and Sarah Leviseur had moved to 1034 Princess Avenue in Parkside, where they lived through at least the fall of 1960.

After a career that lasted well over 31 years, Winfield Leviseur retired on pension on September 1, 1960. He was replaced in the Fire Department by Daniel Jianetto. 

After leaving the Fire Department Winfield LeViseur moved to the suburbs. Last a resident of Somerdale, New Jersey, he passed away on November 3, 1967.
