The funeral of Daniel Harley was held at the home of the deceased, last Saturday afternoon,{03may1919},and a sympathizing assembly attended. Mr Harley was one of the most familiar figures in our town, and his taking away will be noticed by everyone. The services were in charge of Rev Appleman, of Nappanee, assisted by Rev Hill, of this place. The following is the obituary of the deceased.
Daniel Harley, son of John and Mary Harley, was born in Starke County, Ohio, Jan 13th, 1838, departed this life at Bourbon, Ind, April 30, 1919, aged 81 years, 3 months and 17 days. the early part of his life was spent near the place of birth. He was married to Anna Kauffman Feb 2, 1858. To this union were born seven children: Abraham T, Ellen F, Mary Elizabeth, John A, Isaac D, L. G., and Sarah A, one of whom, Mary Elizabeth, preceded him to the Great Beyond June 15, 1892.
About the year 1860 he, with his wife, moved to Whitley County, Ind., and later to Marshall County, where together they braved the hardships of a frontier life, changing the farm from a forest into meadows and pastures, rearing not only seven children of their own to manhood and womanhood, but also three grandchildren, taking them when quite small and caring for them as no one except a father and a mother could. During the Civil War, when the welfare of our country was in the balance, Mr Harley enlisted in the Federal Army in which service his health was so impaired that the remainder of his life was more or less one of misery, from which service he received an honorable discharge on July 20, 1865, at Nashville, Tenn. Soon after the close of the war he, with his wife, united with the Church of the Brethren in which church he spent many years of service, in official capacity and elsewhere in which faith he died.
