The deceased was born in Glandford parish, County Cork 11 Jan 1841.
Several years later his parents immigrated to America, but his grandmother, being aged and somewhat feeble refused to leave her beloved Ireland. So, young Denny gave up his hopes and longings for the new country beyond the sea and remained to be her comfort and support in her declining years. Some ten years later she passed to he Great Beyond and Mr. Daley came to this country — first going to New Hampshire, where he worked at railroad construction for some time, _______ to Wellsville, NY where his people had settled on a farm. Later the Buffalo and Emporium railroad project opened, he went to Forrest City (now Kenting Summit) where he secured a position; remaining on the line until its completion.
Some fifty-three years ago, he was married to Miss Catherine Ryan of Annin Creek and came to Larabee to reside.
When the Larabee and Clermont branch of the W. N. Y. and P. railroad was finished he was given a position of section foreman, which position he held for many years, until through illness he was forced to retire.
Some time later, when he had regained his health to a sufficient degree, he accepted a position as foreman over a large gang of men employed in making the big fill on the Shawnut railroad near Clermont.
Later he purchased the restaurant of E. D. Slingerland near the station here, and was proprietor of it until the death of his wife, 11 May 1922 when he sald to Frank Hemmfinger .
Mr. Daley was the oldest of thirteen children, only two of whom survive — his youngest sister Mrs. Elizabeth Cook and Miss B. M. Daleywho were with him all the time _____ during his illness, although he was to ill to realize their presence only at intervals.
Mr. Daley was a very energetic man all during his life; a remarkably well preserved man, both mentally and physically, considering his eighty-six years. He was a great reader of books, kindhearted and genial. He was probably the most widely known man in this section of the country.
Funeral services were held in St. Mary's Church in Sartwell, PA on Saturday morning 9 Jul (1927). Rev. Father Daley officiating and interment was in St. Mary's cemetery at Sartwell beside his wife who proceeded him in death five years ago.
