"Fairfield Ledger", Dec. 1, 1864, Pg. 3, Col. 1

Departed this life on the morning of the 4th of November, 1864, at his residence near Fairfield, Iowa, Mr. Daniel McLEAN in the 76th year of his age.

Born in Nova Scotia, became a citizen of the United States about the year 1815 and settled in the state of Ohio. In 1839 he removed to Lee County, near West Point, Iowa. After a residence there of some three years he removed to Jefferson County near Fairfield, where he continued to reside to the period of his death, some 22 years.... Patriot... Presbyterian..... And now, after life's changing scenes, he "Sleeps in Jesus", and in the morning of the resurrection, doubtless, he will join in the triumphant song of the redeemed -- "O, death where is thy sting -- O, Grave where is thy victory!"

(Note: Rev. L. G. Bell preached Daniel McLEAN's funeral sermon; it was the last time Rev. Bell visited Fairfield. Source? Probably the "Fairfield Ledger" Oct. 25, 1899, and Nov. 1, 1899 -- Sketch of Launcelot G. Bell by H. Heaton.)
