Elizabeth Jane Albright was born near Burlington, Iowa July 28, 1852. At the age of seven years she was left an orphan. The civil war days soon followed and the education of children was neglected.
Two of her brothers joined the Union Army and the family was separated. Some of the other children were placed in good homes and received an education. Tho separated early in life, the family held reunions later that were always enjoyed.
She grew to woman-bood in De Moines County Iowa, and on August 10, 1871 she was united in marriage to Mathew Barnes Dailey at Wapello, Iowa, where they resided until 1875 when they emigrated to Ringgold County, Iowa.
To this union eleven children were born: Maggie and Franklin who died in infancy and Catherine D. who preceded her mother in death on November 8, 1907. The eight children surviving are John E. and Oren T. of Elwood, Kansas, Charles A. of Kit Carson, Colorado, Ray of Pierre, South Dakota; William O. of San Demas California; Minnie Verley of Lincoln, Nebraska; May DeGroff of Josie; and Ida A. of Martha.
Leaving Ringgold County in 1881 they moved back to Henry County; returning to Ringgold County in '84 where they resided until 1904 when they came to Nebraska settling on a homestead 20 miles southwest of Chambers where they made their home until the spring of 1917 when they purchased an acre of found in Chambers and built up a home here, which was their residence for ten years.
Following a stroke of paralysis and severe illness they gave up the home here and moved onto the farm in a little house beside their youngest daughter Mrs. Carl Lambert. That being their present home.
Early in life she united with the Methodist church was a faithful christian, a motherly woman doing her part wherever she was. A helpful neighbor in time of sickness, doing more work than many a younger woman could. On moving to Chambers she went to the Baptist church a stranger supposing it be the Methodist and found such a friendly welcome, that though not changing membership there was where she continued to worship until moving to Martha when she attended the Bethany church when able.
Three weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Daily went out to Kola to make their home with daughter, Mrs. Herman DeGroff and family a visit and it was there a few days ago that she became very ill and sank away to the last peaceful sleep at midnight Sunday, November 5th, 1933 at the age of 81 years, 3 months, and 8 days.
The passing of the daughter Kate has been the only death in the family in the past 54 years.
All of the children were present for the funeral except W.O. of California. She leaves to mourn besides the children her aged husband, a companion of 62 years duration; besides 26 grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov 7 from the Chambers Baptist church; an old friend and neighbor Rev. P.E. Fisher of Amelia gave the address. Splendid music was furnished by a male quartet, Floyd and Harry Cooper, Floyd Anderson and Leo Adams who sang "Gathering Home" "Going Down the Valley" and "Rock of Ages," Mrs. E.J. Oxford accompanying them on the piano.
Her sons, and sons-in-law Carl Lambert and Herman DeGroff acted as pall bearers. those here from off were: Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Daily and O.T. Daily of Elwood, Kansas, Mr. and Mrs. Charley A. Daily of Kit Carson, Colorado, Mr and Mrs. Ray Daily son and daughter of Pierre, South Dakota, Mrs. Ben Verley of Lincoln, Nebraska and G. L. Zurcher of Stratton, Colorado.
