Biography for Moses Daily, Putnam County, Illinois Moses spent his early years in Pennsylvania. Sometime in the mid 1850's his family moved to Illinois. His brother Joseph married in Putnam County in 1856 so it is unclear if his parents had died and he moved with his older brother or if his entire family had moved to Putnam County. Between 1859 and 1865, his brother Joseph lived in Iowa, so Moses may have spent part of his early life there. By 1872, Moses was living in Putnam County, Illinois. Moses and Anna spent the first few years of their married life in Florid where Moses worked as a farm laborer and on the road crews around Putnam County. By 1893, they had moved to Peoria, Illinois, where they remained until around 1902. Around 1902, Moses and his family moved back to Florid, Illinois. Moses and Anna continued living in Florid until the fall of 1913, when they moved to Peoria to live with their daughter. On November 30, 1913, Moses caught lumbar pneumonia. He died at his daughter's home 5 days later. Moses was laid to rest in the Florid cemetery on December 7, 1913. --------------------------------------------------------------------- UGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organizations or persons.
