Obituary of Daniel Lightfoot, Sr.:
Daniel Lightfoot Sr. was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, June 17, 1811 and died October 26, 1895, age eighty-four years, four months and nine days. He was descended from the English Quakers, who in the time of George the III were somewhat related by marriage with the Royal Family. His immediate ancestors coming from England settled in Maryland from whence their posterity migrated to Pennsylvania, the native state of the deceased. In early life Mr. Lightfoot was actively engaged in business pursuits, but failing health caused a suspension of business activities in middle life. Mr. Lightfoot removed from Pennsylvania to Wayne County, Ohio in early manhood residing here until 1854, coming two years later to ea stern Iowa, where he superintended his farm until 1879 when he directed his steps westward again coming to Kansas City, where he found a home and his final repose. He was in early life an active member of the Church, but in later life his physical infirmities kept him very close to home. He leaves a family of five sons and four daughters, several of whom reside in Iowa. Rev. J.A. Betz conducted funeral services in the Christian Church at 1 o'clock P.M. Monday October 28, 1895, and the burial was in Mulvane Cemetery. A large number of friends attended to pay their last respect to an honest unassuming man.
