Daniel Belangee was born near Cincinnati, Ohio, March 20, 1822,
and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Annie Whitman, at
Timberlake, S. D., April 12, 1918, aged 96 years and 22 days. In
June of 1852 he was united in marriage to Angeline Bridges at
Napoleon, Indiana, where he lived for many years. Ten children
were born to this union, six of whom survive: William of Grand
Junction, Mary of Carlisle, Iowa; Annie of Timberlake, S. D.;
Grant of Alberta, Canada; Perry of Waterloo, IA; and Chas. of
Omaha, Nebr. Mr. Belangee was a hale, hearty man, and for the
past twenty-eight years he had devoted his entire time and energy
to the care of his invalid wife who died December 14, 1916. After
Mrs. Belangee's death Mr. Belangee felt his life work was over
and spoke often of the time when God would call him home, and he
could be re-united with his life- companion. He always spoke with
the fullest confidence of his Home prepared by his Saviour
Christ. In January of 1917 he accompanied his daughter to her
home in South Dakota and there made his home until his death. The
end came suddenly, he being confined to his bed twenty-four
hours. He realized the end was near and said he was glad and
ready to go. The funeral servcies were held from the Grand
Junction M. E. church, of which deceased was a member, on Sunday
afternoon, April 14, the pastor officiating. The body was laid to
rest in the family lot in the city cemetery.
