(Published in History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains Vol. 3 by James H. Hawley 1920)
Daniel W. Ackley is the deputy warden at the state penitentiary in Boise and has a splendid record as a prison official, having had over twenty years' experience in this connection, during which time he has filled every position from that of guard up to warden. He first came to Idaho from Oregon in 1884. He had resided for two years in the latter state, during which time he was at Pendleton. With his arrival in Idaho he turned his attention to the livery and transfer business, which he followed at Weiser from 1884 until 1892. In the latter year he became turnkey at the Idaho state penitentiary at Boise and occupied that position for five years. He later spent a similar period in farming and mining pursuits and in 1901 he returned to an official position at the state penitentiary and during the succeeding fifteen years filled every position at the state prison from that of guard to warden. He acted in the latter capacity in 1903, when he filled out the unexpired term of Charles S. Perrin. During seven and a half years of the fifteen-year period he was deputy warden under John W. Snook. For three years previous to January 1, 1920, he was captain at the Montana state penitentiary at Deer Lodge but resigned the position on the 1st of January, 1920, to accept that of deputy warden at the Idaho state penitentiary.
On the 24th of December, 1893, Mr. Ackley was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ellen Michael and they became parents of two sons and two daughters but had the misfortune to lose their elder son, George Waldo Ackley, who was killed on the battle front in France on the 13th of September, 1918, lacking three days of being twenty-three years ago. Deep as is their sorrow, they must feel a thrill of pride to know how nobly he met his death in fighting for the principles for which America entered the war. The other son, Dan E. Ackley, now twenty-three years of age, is a veteran of the World war and is still in the service. The two daughters are Verna Vie Lena and Mabel Helen, the latter now the wife of Frank Alvinson, of Butte, Montana.
Mr. Ackley is a member of the Woodmen of the World. His political support is given to the republican party and he is thoroughly conversant with the vital problems and issues of the day. Much of his life has been given to official service and his record has at all times been characterized by promptness and efficiency.
