JOSEPH T. DAILY

Civil War Flags.jpg DAILY, Joseph T., farmer, post-office Platteville, is a native of Guernsey county, Ohio, where he was born in 1842. His parents moved to Iowa in 1848 and settled in Henry county, where our subject grew to manhood. In 1861 he enlisted in company G, Eleventh Iowa, and served three years and ten months, participating in the battles of Shiloh, siege of Corinth, second battle of Corinth, siege of Vicksburg, then with [General] SHERMAN to the sea and around to Washington, where he took part in the grand review. Was twice wounded while in service, and was discharged at Davenport [Iowa] July 22, 1865. He then returned to Henry county, where he engaged in farming and milling. In 1865 he married Miss Harriet J. ELIOT, of Henry county. They are the parents of five children, four of whom are now living. He removed to Ringgold county in 1877, remained there two years and then came to Taylor county. In March, 1881, he lost all his household goods, papers, etc., by fire. Mr. D. is a poor but honest man, and certainly deserves remuneration for wounds received while in defense of his country.
