He was born in Germany July 28, 1848, and came with his parents to this country 
when quite a young lad.  The family were residents of Fort Loramie, but Mr.

his brother in law, the late John Heiser.  Mr. Daniels followed the blacksmith 
trade for fifty years in this city, the last place he worked being with Slusser 
and McLean.

On June eighth 1871, he was united in marriage to Barbara Crusey and had he 
lived a few more months the devoted couple would have celebrated their fiftieth 
wedding anniversary.  Six children were born to this union all living.  They are 
Ben, Frank, Fred, and Sam Daniels and Mrs. Charles Williams of this city 
and Mrs. Ernest Wolf of Dayton.

The unferal services will be held at the Holy Angels church Monday Morning at
