Dispute over correct birth location not resolved. Some claim it is Perry County which is the first known record for Daniel at about 5 to 7 years of age with census is known. Census can only be used for a state level birth and even then they are not always correct for the state of birth. Obituary claims Henderson County as birth place and he did grow up there but common for people to claim they were born in the first place they remember living.

Judge Tracy is a native of Tennesee(sic) and becoming early imbued with the spirit of the west moved as a young man to Vernon Texas, where he practised law for several years, and when Oklahoma opened, like the rest of the world, sought his mecca then. He opened an office in Cheyenne Oklahoma, and engaged in the practice of law for a number of years, and incidently(sic) in the country newspaper business, but the railroad having built elswhere(sic) he moved to Elk City and engaged in the practice, having a fine library on the corner of Main and Broadway in the Watson building.

Railroad Meeting.
The Commercial Club of Elk City held a rousing meeting last Friday evening. The large hall was filled to overflowing. Senator Echols made quite a reminiscent talk of the early days in Elk. And Judge Tracy made a strong argument by comparing the old way and the new way, and of the necessity of further progress. The addresses of both gentlemen were well to the point. And ye scribe took a shot at the practical end of the work.
Taking everything into consideation(sic) it was a good meeting partaking more of the old-time spirit of Elk City, bringing people together again for the common good. Let's follow it up and get closer together.

D. W. TRACY
Judge Tracy is a native of Tennesee(sic) and becoming early imbued with the spirit of the west moved as a young man to Vernon Texas, where he practised law for several years, and when Oklahoma opened, like the rest of the world, sought his mecca then. He opened an office in Cheyenne Oklahoma, and engaged in the practice of law for a number of years, and incidently(sic) in the country newspaper business, but the railroad having built elswhere(sic) he moved to Elk City and engaged in the practice, having a fine library on the corner of Main and Broadway in the Watson building. The Judge having successfully held the office of County Attorney of Roger Mills County for a term seems to be fully satisfied with politics except as a good loyal democrat of the uncompromising school, he devotes his entire attention to the law practice in which he has built up a good one.
