Daniel Lombard, 96, oldest pioneer resident of Osage died at his home Wednesday morning, He was in falling health since Christmas, but a week before his death fell and broke his hip.

Daniel Lombard was born in South Paris, Oxford County, Maine, July 21, 1835. At the age of 8, his mother having died, he went to live in the home of Esther Deering in South Paris. After three years he was apprenticed to Henry R. Parsons with whom he stayed until he became of age, when he received from his employer $100 and a gold ring. Shortly after he came west in company with the N. C. Deering family and worked in the Deering sawmill on the banks of the Cedar River, southwest of Osage.

When the Civil war broke out he enlisted in the twenty-seventh Iowa Volunteer Infantry Company K, This company was organized by Captain Granger who in later years said that Dan's name headed the list of those who enlisted here. He served four years in the army and at the close of the War went to his old home in Maine, where, he was forced to spend the next three years in bed, With returning health, tho never completely well, he returned to Iowa, and in 1869 settled on the farm in Cedar township which he purchased in 1859.

Whipple of Charles City, Iowa, Mrs. Ernest W. Woods of Faribault, Minnesota, Herbert Daniel of Estacada, Oregon, and Maud A., who died. Mrs. Lombard died July 22 1900.

Mr. Lombard continued to live on the farm until his marriage on October 9, 1909 to Mrs. Emma Haydon of Minneapolis. They moved into the home in Osage where he has since resided. Mrs. Emma Lombard died August 3, 1922 and since that time her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Ed C. Clark have lived with him. Another stepdaughter, Mrs. Nellie Haydon, lives in Milwaukee.
