CAPTAIN DANIEL FEAGINClayton, Ala., March 31,--Captain Daniel Feagin died here at 11 10 a.m. yesterday and will be buried at 10 o'clock today.
Born at Midway, Ala., June 4, 1837, he would soon have been 74 years old, which suggests the noteworthy fact that his father ws one of eleven brothers all of whom died between the ages of 70 and 75.
Captain Feagin enlisted in the Confederate service in 1861, and served until the close of the war, having risen from private to captain. He was in every important battle in which his company took part.
He was genial and kind and his friendship was of that rare quaility, that once formed was never broken. He was a member of the Methodist Church, of the Knights of Honor, and of the Masonic fraternity, and will be interred with Masonic rites.
He had been in declining health almost continuously since the death of his wife three years ago, but for five months past had been very fe??l? and unable to leave his room.
The surviving members of the family, two sons and one daughter are William F., of Montgomery, C. H. of this place and Miss Marie of Eufala.
