Daniel Irvin Hohner was born in the town of Waterloo, the fifth and last child of Henry Hohner and Isabella Uttley. The next year, the 1901 Canada Census showed the family still living in Waterloo when Daniel was 11 months old. By the 1911 Canada Census, Bella and her children were living in Stratford and Daniel was 11 years old.
In the midst of World War One, Irvin Daniel Hohner signed up in Stratford on April 23rd 1916 with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, 110th Battalion. He lied about his age, making himself one year older. After 5 months and 7 days in the Army at Camp Borden he was discharged as medically unfit. The medical condition was that he was underage -- "Is only 16 years old and unable to stand the hard life of a soldier".
Five years later, the 1921 Canadian Census records Daniel as a prisoner in the penitentiary in Kingston, Ontario, known locally as the Kingston Pen, a maximum security prison. The events that brought him here and the time that he spent here are unknown.
"Dusty" Hohner, as he was known, made himself well known in Stratford and his sudden death at age 40 brought the whole town out to celebrate his life.
