Daniel F. Prather

The Indian Cheiftain
Thursday, September 28, 1893


After months of suffering, Daniel F. Prather died at his home in this 
city, (Vinita) Monday evening after a lingering sickness of more than 
one hundred days' duration.  Young Prather was an exemplary young man 
and being modest and retiring in his demeanor, he commanded the respect
of all and probably hadn't an enemy in the world.  He had attended 
the Seminary at Tahlequah and taken a course of studies at Austin, 
Texas, and stood high in his classes in both schools..  His illness 
is a sad blow to his aged parents and unmarried sister as he was 
their mainstay and the one on whom they expected to lean on in years 
to come.  A short time before his death he professed faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ and signified his willingness to obey the command that 
sooner or later must come to all.  He was received into the Methodist
Church and was baptized only a few hours before his death.  The family 
has the sympathy of the community.
