Page 1Death of Jesse McDaniel
A telegram was received by J.W. Frankelberger Wednesday, announcing the death of Jesse McDaniel, a former business man of Winterset, who began his merchant life here in 1873 and continued to sell dry goods for years.
Mr. McDaniel went to Washington, D.C., over thirty-one years ago to enter the fish commission department of the government and has been there ever since. He always returned to Winterset to cast his presidential vote and remained strong party man to the end. He thoroughly enjoyed his old friends and being reticent by nature, made new friends slowly but surely.
His last visit here showed his health to be in a rapid decline, and the end came at the age of seventy-seven years at the Soldiers Home in Johnson City, Tenn. He has arrived there on Friday, October 24, and his daughter, who had been with him had just left to return to her California home on the assurance from the physicians that he would live for several months. She was in New Orleans when the message reached here, telling of his death on October 27.
Mr. McDaniel’s service with the Missouri cavalry was a source of pride to him and old comrades of the civil war, as well as many old time friends will learn of his death with genuine regret.
