In the death of William McDaniel at his home north of Monticello, Lewis County lost one of that class, only too small now, that may be called the founders of our country. Born of the best Kentucky blood, the boyhood neighbor of John G. Carlisle, he came to Missouri and was united in marriage to one of the best of its families. All of his active life was given to the development of the county and, to the development of what is best in his own character and that of his own family. An honest upright, God fearing man he stood always for what was right and no one was ever in doubt as to the squareness of his life. He said but little of his own beliefs and virtues, he lived them as a husband, a father and a neighbor. William Crocket McDaniel was born near Cynthiana in Grant County, Kentucky, Sept. 14, 1844. He came to Missouri with his parents, Fielding and Nancy McDaniel in 1862. After a short residence near Edina in Knox Co., he moved to Lewis Co. where he spent the remainder of his life. May 15th 1878 he was married to Rosanna F. Nall. To this union were born five children, two daughters, and three sons, all of whom survive. His wife who was his worthy companion in all things entered into her rest about eleven years before him. He was a charter member of the Grange at Derrahs and the members of this order were the pall bearers at his burial. He was converted and united with the Zion Hill Presbyterian church in the early seventies. His Christian life was a consistent and loyal one. After a slow decline of several years he passed away Mar. 19, 1923. Two days later after services conducted by W. K. Moore at his old home church of Zion Hill his body was laid away but his memory will be ever green and his character shall effect his children and his children's children even to the third and fourth generation.
