John Danley
John Danley, more familiarly known as Jack Danley, died at 8:18 Thursday morning at the home of his son, Favious Danley, southwest of Elgin (Oklahoma) and was buried about 7 o’clock that evening in the Elgin cemetery.
Death was caused from paralysis from which he had been suffering for three weeks and during his last illness he was unable to speak. His daughter, Mrs. Eva Lee, was called here recently from Colorado, as relatives knew the end was gradually approaching.
Deceased was born in Harrison county, W. Va., March 8, 1849, being 75 years and 6 months old. He was united in marriage with Miss Ida Hickman in 1875, who preceded him in death Aug. 23, 1884. To this union were born two children, mentioned above. He came to Oklahoma at the opening and for several years has made his home with his son.
