Daniel Elmer Day, whose death occurred Tuesday, March 30, at the North Adams, Mass., hospital after undergoing an operation for appendicitis, and whose funeral services were held at his brother's in Marlboro, April 1, was born in Stamford April 7, 1868. He was the oldest of seven children, six boys and one girl, and was nearly 41 years old when he died. He came to Wilmington when 19 years of age and has lived more or less in town ever since. Seventeen years ago he was married to Kate, only daughter of the late Wm. Ballou. At the time of his death he was living on the "Elliot Johnson place" in Marlboro. He was of large physique and was usually in the enjoyment of robust health. It was a sudden taking off with scarcely a day's warning. There was much that was likable in his character, and in the hearts of his friends will linger memories of his unselfish, kindly deeds. All his brothers and his one sister were present at the funeral. Rev. Flint M. Bissell was the officiating clergyman. The burial was in the Averill Cemetery. A widow and one daughter aged 16 survive him.
