Mr. Daly was born at Piermont, N.Y., in 1853, and, when he was a young child, his parents moved to Jersey City, which became his home for the rest of his life. When still quite young, he entered into the employ of the old established house of J.H. Gautier & Co., manufacturers of crucibles in Jersey City, and remained a trusted servant of that firm for about fifty years, beginning on the lowest rung of the ladder and rising to be the general manager of their business.
As might be expected of one whose business and home life was so long bound up with Jersey City, he was for many years prominent in the civic life of the community, and while he held no public office except membership for several years in the board of education, he made himself felt in business life as a director of the Hudson County National Bank and as a manager of the Provident Institution for Savings. He was one of the trustees of the Free Public Library, a member of the Board of Trade, and later of the Chamber of Commerce, and was identified with local charities and clubs. For many years preceding his death he was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Jersey City. In early life he married Miss Jane Gaisford of Dobbs Ferry, who with three of the four children, survives him.
Mr. Daly was a man of unusually attractive and winning personality. He made friends quickly and kept them always. His genial smile and cordial greeting will always remain bright in the memory of his friends.
