Death of Matt Daley.
Dan Shea received intelligence, Tuesday that Matt W. Daley, formerly a resident of Decorah, had died that morning of spinal meningitis at his home at Madison, S. D. Mr. Daley was born in Allamakee Co. and when he came to Decorah was employed by Ammon, Scott & Co. Previous to that he owned and operated the store at Highlandville which E. O. Schjeldahl now owns. After severing his connection with Ammon, Scott & Co. he was in the firm of Paulk & Comstock. Later he worked for J. J. Marsh and finally went west where he engaged in banking at Madison. The funeral is to be held to-day.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows his name was spelled Daly. He was born March 11, 1850 and died Jan. 18, 1898. He is buried in St. Thomas Cemetery in Madison, SD.
