ALONZO DANIEL Alonzo Daniel, son of George and Elizabeth (Helton) Daniel was born October 17, 1876, at Mingo, Ky. known now as Tutor Key. On January 3, 1900, he was married to Lora Fairchild and the day of his death was his 54th wedding anniversary, January 3, 1954. Although he had been in ill health for several months, his passing was a shock to his family, neighbors and friends. He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, one son, Hobart Daniel, Huntington, W.Va., five daughters, Mrs. Betsy Prince, Scott Depot, W. Va., Mrs. Edna Daniel, Mrs. Flora Adams, Mrs. Olga Kerns, Tutor Key, and Mrs. Loretta Nietubic, Wharton, W. Va. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren, seven great- grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Frank Preston, Tutor Key, two brothers, Joe Daniel, Nippa, Ky., John Daniel, Paintsville, Ky. Lon, as he was familiarly known to his many relatives and friends, has lived his entire life in this community where he was a merchant and a retired postmaster. At the time of his passing he had reached the age of 77 years, 2 months and 16 days. He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and one of Johnson County's most highly respected citizens, and a member of one of the county's largest and best- known families. Let us not enshroud his memory with thoughts of sorrow, tears or words of sympathy can not bring back the touch of loving hands or voices stilled, it was only to have known him to have loved him, that is ours to remember. Surely there is an after life for all those who have been loyal and true, a life to which light and peace shall come, where the burden shall be lifted, where the heartache shall cease, where the hope, the joy, the fulfillment that escaped him in this life shall be given him to be his forever.
