It is with deep grief, the friends announce the death on Wednesday of Mr. 
Daniel Fleck, at his residence in Penn Township. He had been confined to 
his bed for several weeks past with what was pronounced by his physicians 
to be Bright's disease, whichspeedily assumed a dangerous form and his 
system having been much weakened by age, he sunk under the attack. 
Mr. Fleck needs no extensive eulogy.  
From a poor boy, a "stranger in a strange land" by his own
industry, perseverance, and good sense, aided by an irreproachable moral
character, he raised a family of 9 children,4 daughters and 5 sons who
are all married and attained a home, station, and hosts of friends. In
the Dunkard Church to which he belonged he was respected and loved. His
wife is deprived of a tender husband and his children of a kind parent.
