Sudden Death of Mr. James Daniel 

Mr. James Daniel, living three miles south of town died at 2 o’clock on Friday 
evening the 22nd inst.  His death was sudden and unexpected although he had 
been in feeble health for some time.  Mr. Daniel was about 60 years of age, and 
in early life one of the most useful citizens of this county.

About twenty years ago Mr. Daniel was stricken with paralysis from the effects 
of which he never recovered and his sudden death is thought to have been 
produced from paralysis of the brain.  He joined the Methodist church in the 
bloom of young manhood and as long as he was able attended its services, 
liberally supported its institutions and loved its cause to the end.  On 
account of his afflictions he was deprived of many pleasures of life but the 
God whom he trusted sustained him in death.  His remains were interred at 
Bethel church on Saturday morning with Masonic honors of which he was an 
acceptable member to the day of his afflictions.  He leaves a kind and devoted 
wife, several daughters besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss.

In Memoriam

James W. Daniel, was born in Gadsden County, Fla., Aug. 30th, 1830, and died at 
his home in Taylor County, Ga. on June 22nd, 1894.  He came to Georgia in his 
childhood and had lived in Taylor County since 1856.  On Oct. 26th, 1858 he was 
married to Miss S.A. Barfield, daughter of J.C. Barfield of Talbot County, Ga.  
She says of him, “he made me a good and true husband.”  He joined the Methodist 
church in 1858, and I am told that for many years he was one of the main stakes 
of the church in Butler where he held his membership.  About 23 years ago he 
was stricken with paralysis, and while he could get about the house and yard a 
little afterward, he was never able to work anymore, and seldom left his house 
at all.  But during these years of bodily suffering his spirit ripened for the 
heavenly home.  On the day of his death he said that he was ready.  He ate his 
dinner and seemed as well as usual, but shortly after was taken with another 
stroke of paralysis and died almost instantly.

May God comfort the sorrowing family, is the prayer of their Pastor.
