DANIEL T. HACKERT Was born at Benton, Elkhart Co., Ind., Sept. 4, 1837, died at Davis City, Iowa, April 21, 1900, aged 69 years, 7 months and 17 days. He was married to HYLDA MCNUTT June 20, ’61, at Benton, Ind. Shortly after his marriage he removed with his companion to Wisconsin, where he resided about 18 years. With his family he came to reside in Davis City in the year ’86. His wife died about five years ago and just six weeks prior to his death he buried his only son, ED. HACKER. His death was from blood poisoning occasioned by a splinter being run into his hand. He was sick only about four days.

He leaves two daughters, two brothers and two sisters to mourn his departure.

His funeral was from the L. D. S. chapel Sunday at 3 p. m. under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, sermon being preached by Eld. FRED E. BLAIR, of Lamoni. The large concourse of people that attended the funeral obsequies showed high esteem in which he was held. He has never allied himself with any religious organization, though he acknowledged his faith in God and the Christ. The honesty and uprightness was worthy of imitation.

The sympathy of the entire community is with his daughters and especially to the doubly afflicted one who was care taker of the home of her father and lately deceased brother, by whose deaths she is left alone.

“May He the ‘father to the father less’ be and abide with her in this, her hour of darkness” is the heartfelt prayer of everyone.

[Interment was made at Davis City Cemetery.]
