*Additional information gleaned from the Perryton Herald obituary, date unknown:

He moved with his parents to Harper county, Okla., where R. H. Daley, his brother, Fred Daley and their father, all filed on homestead land just after the turn of the century.

The family moved to Charleston, Okla., in 1908, where the elder Mr. Daley served as postmaster until his death two years later, then his wife served until a move to Texas in 1917.

R. H. Daley had bought a general store in 1908, and operated it until 1917 when it was destroyed by fire.

He was married to Beatrice Ellsworth on September 14, 1913, at Protection, Kans., and after the Charleston store burned, they moved to Ochiltree county, purchasing land seven miles east of the present site of Perryton.

After four years of farming, the family, which now included two sons, Garland and Phil, moved to Perryton. Mr. Daley became head bookkeeper at Equity in 1922, a position he maintained for six years.

Daley Hotel, located at SE 1st and Ash in Perryton, was purchased in 1922, and rooms were rented there until 1963.

Mr. Daley audited books for various firms in the area, then in 1931, purchased a small glass business.
