21 May 1883 Newark Daily Advocate:
Gone to Rest With His Fathers
	On Monday, May 14th, Daniel Showers, Esq., of Etna Township, after a 
lingering illness of nearly one year, induced by several strokes of palsy, 
departed this life, leaving numerous friends to mourn his loss. 
	Mr. Showers was born in Fairfield county, April 25th, 1818; and was 
therefore sixty-five years and nineteen days old. At an early age he moved 
with his father to the town of Etna, where he learned the wagon maker's trade, 
which he pursued, in connection with farming to the time of his death. Twice 
the citizens of Etna tp. expressed their confidence in his wisdom and 
integrity by electing him to the office of Justice of the Peace, and for many 
years he has been an elder in his adopeted church, and superintendent of its 
Sunday School. Also an active and influential member of the I.O.O.F. Mr 
Showers was a man of a kind and genial disposition; a good neighbor, and kind 
husband and father, and zealous in the promotion of every good work. While no 
man can be said to be indispensible to a community, yet his loss will be long 
and sincerely mourned by those who best knew him, and among whom his influence 
was espectially felt. D.M.K.
