Daniel W. Daily  Obituary

Ashland Clipper, January 30, 1913


 
DANIEL W. DAILY IS NO MORE.
 

Daniel W. Daily departed this life at his home out on Bluff Creek at about one o'clock yesterday morning, the 29th, after an illness covering a period of several months.

Mr. Daily was one of the very early settlers in this county and was one of the very best citizens of the county.  He was considered an honest man by those who knew him and by his industry he has laid by a moderate competence.  He was a man of quiet manners and unassuming.  His home life was of the most pleasant kind, he was idolized by  his family.  He was reputed to be a good neighbor and a very warm friend.

In the death of Mr. Daily the community loses one of its best citizens and the bereaved family will have the sympathy of every one.
