DEATHS

				Daley

Ed Daley, a former Boone county boy, died at Carroll on Thursday,
March 9.  Mr. Daley lived with the family of Jeremiah Lucey for years.
The Carroll Sentinel gives the following account of his death: "Ed
Daley, one of Carroll's respected citizens, died at his home in the
Third ward Thursday evening.  During the past two months he was
confined to his bed with heart trouble.  He was naturally of a robust
constitution, a hard worker and struggled manfully against the inroads
the disease was making upon him.  He was always hopeful and never gave
up.  His funeral was held at St. Joseph's church Saturday morning.
Rev. Father O'Conner preaching the sermon.  The funeral was largely
attended, for all who knew Ed Daley respected him.  His death is
peculiarly a sad one for it leaves a family of six small children
fatherless.  The loving wife watched over and cared for her husband
during his declining days with a fortitude worthy of her sex and which
marks her a kind and Christian woman.  Mr. Daley carried a policy in
the Banker's Life Insurance company for $2,000.  The wife and family
have the sympathy of the community in this their sad loss."
