Daniel Cypher
Daniel Cypher, the oldest and one of the best known residents of this county, died at 2 a.m. last Saturday, December 5, at his homestead in Woodcock Valley, Liberty Township, where he was born and spent his entire life. His wife preceded him to the grave 31 years ago. Had he lived until the 6th day of January he would have been 91 years of age. He is survived by the following sons and daughters: David H. of Johnstown, George M. and Jacob W., of Wilkinsburg; Daniel W of Coalmont, Isaac C of Stromsburg, Neb., Mrs. Maggie Myers and Mrs. Sue Moyle, of Saxton, and Miss Jennie M., at home. All of his brothers and sisters and one daughter preceded him across the dark river. Seven great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild survive.
Mr. Cypher's father was one of the pioneer settlers of that section, coming from the eastern part of the state. Deceased, in his boyhood days, helped the elder to clear the forests and make them productive and habitable for man. In his younger days he was a blacksmith by trade and worked for the contractors who built the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad. In later years he took charge of the homestead farm and continued to operate it until incapacitated by years of infirmity. He was an ideal citizen, upright in his transactions and industrious in his labor. For over half a century he was a consistent and faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, holding his membership with the Marklesburg Charge.
