W. T. Daniels Dies
At Age of 87

Death claimed one of the community's most esteemed citizens last Thursday afternoon when W. T. Daniels passed away at his home on East 2nd street following a lingering illness. With the passing of Mr. Daniels Moulton loses one of its sterling citizens and a man whose character and integrity has been an inspiration to many.
Mr. Daniels was born in Jackson county, Ohio, September 23, 1856, and was at the time of his death 87 years, 7 months and 11 days old. He grew to manhood in Jackson county, Ohio, and acquired his education in the public schools. He spent his childhood and youth on his father's farm and even after attaining his majority aided in the
operation of the homestead. After his marriage to Eliza Craig, which occured in 1881, he engaged in farming in Ohio for ten years, developing a property of one hundred and ten acres along progressive lines.
He sold his holdings in 1891 and moved to Appanoose county. Here he acquired a tract of timber land, erected a sawmill and engaged in sawing lumber for a period of five years. He later purchased another farm which became known as the Daniels homestead. His careful management
made him known as one of the community's most successful farmers. Upon his retirement from the farm he moved to Moulton where he has since made his home.
He was the father of four children, two daughters and two sons, who survive: Mrs. Lizzie Hetzler. who lives at the parental home; Mrs. Paul Pennington, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisc, and Craig and Ward, both of the Moulton community.
Nine grandchildren, two great grand children, and two brothers, G. N. Daniels, of Moravia, and A. R. Daniels, of Bentensport, Iowa, and two sisters, Miss Rebecca Daniels, of Moulton, and Mrs. Fred Hartwick, of Moline, ILL., also survive. His wife preceded him in death on March 9. 1940.
Mr. Daniels had been a member of the Moulton Masonic and I. O. O. F. orders having filled all the chairs in the latter. He was a devout member of the Methodist church and was active in its affairs as long as health permitted. His political affilations were with the republican party
and he gained a position of prominence and distinction in offical circles of the state. In 1910 he was elected to represent Appanoose county in the general assembly and did such an able, conscientious and public spirited work that in 1912 he was reelected by a large majority. He had
also served as councilman here and held other offices of trust. His fearlessnes and integrity won him the repect and esteem of his fellow men.
Funeral services were held Sunday in the Methodist church conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Harp. Burial was in Oakland cemetery.
