DANIELS.-At the home of Mrs. Stanton, in Bennett, during Friday night, May 31st, 1889, Mr. James M. Daniels, aged fifty-four years and one day.
From the fact that deceased was found dead in his bed Saturday morning, and that it was not known just how or when he died, the rumor spread itself abroad that he had perished by his own hand from the effect of a suicidal dose of morphine. There is really no assured ground for accepting this explanation as the correct one. Mr. Daniels was in poor health and had been in the habit of using morphine from time to time; and if so be his death was caused by that drug-which is not fully established as a fact-the overdose may have been an accidental one. His affairs were not all settled up, as has been reported; and more than this, he had only a few day's previously engaged work at his trade (carpenter) of Mr. Flater, and was to have commenced on Monday morning of this week.
J. M. Daniels was born near Jonesville, Mich., May 30th, 1835. He came to Iowa in 1860 and in the fall of 1861 enlisted in Co. E of the 11th Iowa. He went to the front with his regiment and served for over a year, participating meanwhile in the bloody battle of Shiloh and other engagements when he was discharged on account of sickness. He returned to this county, where he was married to a daughter of Mr. J. E. L. Carey, and where he has lived much of the time since, with several long and remote absences. One son lives in Nebraska and a daughter at Maquoketa, but no relatives were near at the time of his death. Becoming aware of the situation just before it was too late, however, proper and respectful attention was secured by the effort of brother soldiers living in the vicinity, and funeral services were held at the Sheldon school house, at York Prairie, at 4 p.m. on Monday. Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. C. A. Hawn, and with the emblems of affection, of purity and of victory laid upon it by representatives of Wm. Beaver Post, G. A. R., the casket was lowered to his last resting place in the little cemetery near at hand.
Note: Obit states James M., should be John M. Daniels.
