George McDaniel was born in Melrose township, May 30, 1853. He grew to manhood in the country, having the advantages afforded by the rural schools of the times, which he attended in his boyhood during the winter months, only, as his services were required on the farm in the summer.
In 1871 the family moved to Marshall and in 1874, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Specht and the young couple at once went to housekeeping. The fruits of this marriage were eight children, seven of whom, with their mother, survive him. Of his father's family, his mother, two brothers, Lewis of Orange township and John of Marshall, and two sisters, Mrs. Hannah Malone of Danville and Mrs. Dave Mitchell of Marshall, are yet living and all were present at the funeral, which was held at 10 a.m., yesterday, at the Baptist church. Seminole Tribe of Red Men, of which he was an honored member , had charge of the burial services, Rev. T. H. Tull preaching the funeral sermon. Interment was in Marshall cemetery.
Mr. McDaniel was a hard-working man and by patient industry and frugal living had purchased a small farm two miles west of Marshall on the National Road. About two months ago, a vicious horse pressed him with great force against the side of the stall, holding him there for some minutes. When released he had only strength enough to get out of reach of the horse and then fell and lay for some time before he was able to get to the house. He recovered sufficiently to go around some, and being a very reticent man said nothing of his hurt to anyone but his wife and did not explain fully to her. Aug. 16th he went to Terre Haute to try the artesian baths. Not getting any better, he returned on the Monday following and went to his mother's home in Marshall. A physician was sent for and upon examination, his collar bone was found to be broken in two places and several ribs broken, and he was evidently severely hurt internally. He was too sick to be taken to his home and remained at his mother's, where he died Monday at twelve o'clock, just six weeks from the time he returned from Terre Haute.
He was a member of the United Brethren church and bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community.
