"Cumberland Daily Times" Cumberland, Maryland, 3 Dec 1891: "
Mr. Daniel Stakem (sic-should be James) an old and highly esteemed citizen of Midland, 
this county, was found dead yesterday morning, by some workmen under Georges Creek and 
Cumberland Railroad trestle. When found he was in a sitting position, and it is 
supposed that in attempting to cross the trestle, he fell thorough and died before 
help could reach him. The last time he was seen alive was on Tuesday night when he 
left the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Burns, at Ocean, to go to the residence of 
his son, James, at Midland. Mr. Stakem was born in Dublin in the year 1810 and came to 
this country from County Wicklow, in Ireland, in 1870."
