MRS, ELLEN HOBART DANIELS
Mrs, Ellen Hobart Daniels, widow of
the late George D. Daniels, died at the
Homer hospital at an early hour Monday
morning as the result of injuries
sustained on the night of October 22
when she fell down the rear stairway of
her apartments in Mrs. Adel Will's
house in Elm avenue, as told in the Republican
of Octobr 4. She was taken
to the Homer hospital at once, suffering
from a fractured hip, severe bruises and
it is thought, a slight fracture at the
base of the skull. All that could be
done for her comfort and the relief of
Buffering was done at the hospital and
by her devoted daughter, Mrs. C. R.
Merrill and her sister, Mrs. Alice Skinner,
who has spent much time in recent
years with her at her home here and
who was with her at the time of her
sad accident.
Little hope of her recovery was entertained
from the first and her strength
gradually failed until death came to
relieve her of her&suffering.
Mrs. Daniels was a lifelong resid ent
of Homer. She was the eldest daughter
of Manley and Caroline Boise Hobart
and was born May 13, 1843, on the
Hathway farm north of this village and
her education was obtained in the district
schools and in Homer academy.
She was married March 2, 1862 to
George D. Daniels then employed in a
Syracuse dry goods store. Soon after
marriage they took up their residence
in Homer where Mr. Daniels entered
into the dry goods and grocery business
with the late P. C. Kingsbury and for
20 years they continued successfully in
business together and later Mr. Daniels
engaged in other business enterprises,
for some years being associated with
0. B. Anderws in the grocery business.
Mr, Daniels died in August, 1908 after
having retired from active business.
Three children were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Daniels, two daughters: Mrs. Alice
Merrill, wife of Charles R. Merrill,
Miss Annie Daniels and one son, Manley
Hobart Daniels. The son died November
22, 1908, and the youngest daughter,
Annie Daniels, February 2, 1913,
leaving only one child, Mrs. Charles R.
Merrill, to be her comfort in her declining
years and this she had surely
been.
She is survived also by three sisters,
Mrs.Clara Heberd of this village, widow
of the late Lyman H. Heberd, Mrs.
Alice Skinner, widow of the late Charles
A. Skinner, who has spent much of her
time for the past two years or more
with Mrs. Daniels, and also Mrs. J. N.
Knapp of Syracuse. Mrs. Daniels united
with the Congregational church in 1858
and had been greatly interested in its
prosperity and most helpful and liberal
in her support of it in the many branches
of its work. She had borne her severe
bereavement and affliction with Christian
fortitude and resignation and she
was beloved not only by her family
but by many friends and she will be
missed in many ways outside the family
circle.
The funeral was largely attended, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Merrill
at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Rev. J. H. Oimstead officiating. Mrs.
C S. Roe and Miss Nellie Young sang
suitable vocal selections. Burial was
made in Glen wood cemetery.
Relatives and friends present at the
funeral from out of town were: Mrs. J.
N. Knapp and Mrs. Floyd Smith of
Syracuse, George and Frank Daniels
and Miss Laura Daniels of Vesper, Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Riehlman of Preble,
Mrs. C. P. Walrad, Miss Anna Walrad,
Mrs. Grove T. Maxson, Dr. and Mrs.
M. M. Lucid of Cortland Mrs. Dayton
of Little York and Hobart Skinner of Syracuse.
