Judge Samuel W. McDaniel Dies After Long Illness
Former Clergyman, Had Many Pastorates
Raised First Company of Civil War Volunteers from Pennsylvania
Graduated from Harvard Law School
Was Eminent at Bar
The Hon. Samuel Walton McDaniel, associate justice of the Cambridge district court, died on Thursday afternoon at his home in Brighton, after a long illness. He was born in Philadelphia in 1833, was educated in the schools of that city, and entered the Unitarian ministry. At the outbreak of the civil war he raised the first company of troops sent to the front from Pennsylvania, and later was made chaplain of the 4th Pennsylvania volunteers, serving throughout the war.
After the war he came east, and at various times held pastorates in Hudson, Neponset, Brighton and East Cambridge. Subsequently he entered Harvard University law school, from which he was graduated, and upon his admission to the bar opened an office at 61 Court street, Boston, where he practiced law up to the time of his illness.
He took an active interest in politics, and while settled at East Cambridge, in the seventies, served several years in the Massachusetts General Court, and was the prime mover and prosecutor of the Miller's river improvements in Cambridge and Somerville. He was for many years an active member of the Cambridge school board and of the state commission in charge of the Lyman and Lancaster schools, and was one of the trustees of the Massachusetts reform school, a position from which he recently resigned on account of ill health. He was an honored member of the G.A.R., and took an active interest in its welfare.
Judge McDaniel was married in 1868 to Georgiana F. Brooks of Brighton, who, with two sons, survive him. One of the sons is a lawyer in Boston, and the other is professor of Latin in the University of Pennsylvania.
