Passing of Samuel Daniels
With the passing of Samuel Daniels, one of the oldest residents of Linn county, was taken, as he had lived here almost seventy-five years. Born in Ohio, May 15, 1838, Mr. Daniels came to Iowa in 1844 with his parents, Jeremiah and Susannah (Perkey) Daniels. The family settled near Mt. Vernon, where the father operated a mill and later on another at Bertram. Of his twelve brothers and sisters, only one, Mrs. Catherine Irey, of Cedar Rapids survives.
Mr. Daniels served his country in the Civil war and was a member of Co. K. First Iowa Volunteers. In the battle of Wilson Creek, he was wounded and lost a leg, this injury causing him much suffering during the greater part of his life.
His marriage to Mary Elizabeth Hayzlett occurred November 27, 1873 and three children were born to them. Dr. Charles Daniels, now of Waukegan, Ill; Mrs. A.W. Straley, of Roundup, Mont., and Samuel who died in infancy. Mrs. Daniels passed away October 28, 1914.
Mr. Daniels has been closely associated with the business life of both Linn county and this city. He served as county auditor for three terms and later was postmaster of Marion. He also served as commander of Robt. Mitchell Post, G.A.R. A man of the highest integrity, he was an esteemed citizen and was loved by all who knew him for his quiet, kindly nature. For several years he had been closely confined to his home because of his frailty of body, but he kept in close touch with the affairs of the day. His death occurred Saturday, November 30, and the funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon, with the Rev. H.G. Finney of the Presbyterian church in charge. Interment was in the family lot in Oak Shade cemetery.
