New Albany Ledger, New Albany, IN, Sat, Jul 26, 1884: Dr. Andrew F Dayhuff died at his home at Kokomo, Howard county, on Tuesday, July 22, 1884. Deceased was born in Orange county, Indiana, in 1827, and the sands of time had marked 57 years against his name. He received a good common school education and rounded out his academic pursuits by a course in the State University at Bloomington. He spent one year in New Albany as a clerk in a store, and returned to Paoli in poor health. He read medicine with Dr. Wm. Sherrod at his home for a year and took a full course in the Rush Medical College. Returning home on his graduation , he formed a partnership with his old preceptor, in which relation he remained for four years. In 1855 Dr. Dayhuff established himself in Kokomo in partnership with the late Dr. James. In three years Dr. Dayhuff practiced alone and has never had a partner since. On November 1, 1855, he was married to Miss Adda Frazier of New Albany, who bore him six children, of whom Mrs. Byron Haskett, Jessie, Mollie, and Daniel, with their mother, survive. Dr. Dayhuff was one of the pioneers of Kokomo, helping to develop if from a small village to its present proportions. At one time he was well circumstanced, but the panic of 1873 swept all he had away. He never recovered from that shock, and to his death it was a shadow over his life. He was a progressive citizen, ambitious for his city's best interests. He was a genial companion, a fond father, a true husband and a good friend.
