In the death of Hon. Daniel Sayre, which occurred at his home in this city
yesterday at 9 o’clock p.m., Montgomery loses one of its oldest, most respected
and honored citizens.  Mr. Sayre has been in feeble health for some time, but
his feebleness was due to extreme age rather than to any particular ailment, and
his death as sudden as unexpected.  He was sitting in his chair in apparently
good heath when he fell back dead.

Mr. Sayre was a native of Ohio, having been born at Warren, Franklin county, in
that state in 1808.  He first moved to this city in 1820, when a boy about 12
years old.  In 1844 he became the editor of the Talladega Watchtower, and
afterwards, in 1854, of the Tuskegee Republican, and was an editor for many
years of his long and useful life.  In this year he was elected grand secretary
of the Grand Lodge of A.F. and A. Masons.  He was also grand secretary of
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, and grand recorder of the Grand Commandary of
Alabama.  He was a prominent Mason of thirty two degrees, of the Scottish Rite,
and was much beloved by all the members of the order, and was very popular with
all with whom he was thrown in contact.  He was noted for his integrity,
honesty, gentlemanly and dignified bearing, and was a useful citizen and a true
and worthy man. – Montgomery Dispatch
