The Holton Recorder, Jackson County, Thursday, February 23, 1922
Mary ALEXANDER, daughter of Thomas and Barbar Alexander, was born in Guernsey

WHITCRAFT, near Netawaka, Kansas, February 14, 1922, aged 82 years, 9 months,
and 21 days. At the age of fifteen she moved with her parents to Coshocton
County, Ohio., where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Samuel U. DAYTON,
April 18, 1861. They moved to Iowa, where they lived until the fall of 1869,
coming from Iowa to Kansas, settling in Liberty township, Jackson County, where
she resided until the fall of 1920. At this time she moved to Holton, and lived
with her son, Robert M. Dayton, until November, 1921, when she came to live with
her daughte, owing to failing health.
She was the mother of nine children. Four of them and her husband preceded her

also one stepson, Christopher G. Dayton. She leaves to mourn her loss, two
daughers, Mrs.Mary Elizabeth CARNINE of Walla Walla, Wash.; Mrs. Margaret Anne

Holton, and Samuel LeRoy Dayton of Duckabush, Wash., and one step-daughter, Mrs.
S.T. BLACK of Holton. Also seventeen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
Mother Dayton joined the M.E. church while yet in her teens, and it was a great
pleasure during her whole life to be doing her Master's will as she found it in
her daily life. Coming to Kansas at the time they did, they met many hardships
that had to be overcome, which she enjoyed talking over in her last days.
Besides her children and great-grandchildren, she leaves a wide acqaintanceship
