DEATH OF EDWARD DALEY.
Edward Daley, ST., died at his resi-.
dence on North y street at S:45 last
night, death coming 30 silently that the
watchers hardly knew when the mo-
ment of dissolution came. He had
been unconscious since early in the
afternoon, and the vital spark grew
DINNER and finally went out in the
early evening.
Edward Daley came with the very
| first party of emigrants who entered
the valley, and in all of the plans for
it's reclaiming and development he
was prominently identified with every
movement, and with Captain Hunt,
David Seeley, John Brown, Sheldon
Stoddard and many others was of the
real pioneers.
| The deceased was native of Onon-
daga county, New York, where he was
born March 81, 1926. When six years
of age his parents emigrated to the
Western Reserve, in Ohio. In 1849 the
with his wife joined the stream of emf
grants headed for California, crossing
the plains with an OK team.
There we're many delays on the way,
as it was not until 1851 that they
reached Southern California, and on
June 20, with the first party of white
settlers who had come into this beau
tiful valley, Mr.. Daley arrived here,
and has made il his home for nearly
forty-ave years.
The deceased was :the father of
eleven children, and mis- widow, Mrs.
Nancy H. Daley, and eight of their
children survive him. They are: Mrs
Daley Jr, Charles Jefferson Daley,
District Attorney Frank B. Daley, Mrs.
F. r. Higgins, May E. Daley and Mrs.
George l.. Bryant, all of whom reside
in San Bernardino. Three are dead:
M. L. Daley, John A. Daley and Grace
Daley
There have been few men who have
lived in the San Bernardino valley,
whose influence was greater, and
whose personality has affected it's his
tory more than Edward Daley.
