This community received a shock
rbnrsdav morning when il was learn
"a that Frederick J. Daniels, a prom
mont citizen of the town for the past
40 wears, had died suddenly during
=. night. He was about the city
wednesday afternoon and many peo-
ole talked with him.
Mr.. Daniels had not been in his usu-
al health for some time. He made no
complaint and only those very close
10 him realized that he was not a well
man. He tried to keep his condition
70 himself so as not to worry his rel
Aatiyes and friends.
Mr.. Daniels went to bed about 10
o'clock Wednesday night, His daugh-
ter. Miss Ruth Daniels, trained
nurse. who was at home with her

Ms. Daniels left Wednesday morning
for Manchester, N. H., where a
daughter, Miss Annie Daniels, lives.
The third daughter. Miss Mary Dan

Il was about IL o'clock when Miss
Daniels heard her father at her bed
room door. She found that he was i'll
and got something to afford him re-
lief. She saw that his condition was
critical. but before a doctor could be
summoned Mr.. Daniels had passed
away. Heart trouble was the cause
o. death.
The family is prominent in the re-
hgious and social affairs of the city.
Mr.. Daniels was for some years iden-
tilted with the business interests of
the town. He was once elected asses
sor by the Republican party. Aside
from this he never held public office
nor did he seek election to any office
although he was consistent Republic
can. but he had often acted in an Off
eial capacity on committees in church
and public affairs. He was always
found willing to do his part for any
thing that he thought would benefit
the community.
While of rather a retiring disposi-
ton, Mr. Daniels was a pleasant man
