SPLENDID SKETCH OF
MR. W. j. M'DANIEL
Whose Death at Rutherford
ton Has Caused Universal
Sorrow.
(Special to The Courier.)
Elsewhere in The Courier will be
found a short article relating: the
'death of Mr. W. J. McDaniel, at
Rutherfordton. Our special corres
pondent sends the following article,
covering more fully the history and
activities, and an appreciation of this
popular citizen.
Rutherfordton, July 6.—Mr. W. J.
McDaniel, a prominent citizen of
Rutherfordton, died early Friday
morning and was buried Saturday,
"he funeral services being conducted
at 11 o'clock, Saturday, from the
Methodist church, by Rev. J. O. Er
vin, pastor, assisted by Rev. T. C.
Jordan, of Asheville, Revs. M. A.
Adams and W. L. Latham, of the
Baptist and Presbyterian churches,
of Rutherfordton.
The death of Mr. McDaniel, while
not unexpected, is- greatly deplored
by the entire town and surrounding
country, many business associates
and personal friends recall his cour
teous manner and genial demeanor
and their pleasant associations with
him in former days.
Born at Cherokee Springs, S. C.,
in the year 1873, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. B. McDaniel, he moved with
his parents to Rutherfordton in 1890
and was educated in the public
school, attended the Rutherford
Military Institute and later went to
business college at Asheville. He
was engaged in merchantile business
w-ith his father for several years
and for four years served the peo
ple as Deputy Register of Deeds and
was appointed postmaster, which po
sition he filled for some years effi
ciently, resigning to devote his time
to the firm of McDaniel &. Saunders,
which later as the McDaniel-Miller
Co., became one of the largest and
most prosperous business interests
of Rutherfordton. It was at this
time that his health was impaired
by close attention to business and
he decided to retire from active work
\n hope that he might regain bis
strength, but in spite of the best
care and medical attention he did
not improve and gradually grew
worse until the end came peacefully
welcome release from bodily suffer
ing, his only regret being that oth
ers would sorrow at the parting.
In addition to being a successful
business man, Mr. McDaniel was
identified with the civic and reli
gious interests of the town. A con
sistent member of the Methodist
church, he was a loyal supporter of
every move for the advancement of
the Master's cause. For several
years he was on the town Board and
it was largely through his influence
that the era for better streets and
modern improvements began in Ruth
erfordton and so vitally interested
was he that much of the work was
done under his personal supervision,
leaving his own business in order to
be more faithful to the trust reposed
in him as a public offical.. Firm in
his convictions, tho retiring in dis
position he was ever ready to stand
for the right as he saw it. An up
right, honorable. Christian gentle
man, may his influence go -on through
the ages.
Mr: McDaniel was married to Miss
Annie Wilson Miller March 2, 1897.
To this happy union were born three
sons and three daughters, the old
est eon dying in infancy. He is
survived by his widow and the follow
ing children: Mr. W. J. McDaniel,
Jr., a student of Atlanta Dental
College; Mr. Robert McDaniel, Misses
Alice, Ethel and Edith McDaniel;
his mother, Mrs. Minerva McDaniel;
two brothers, Messrs. H. L. McDaniel
of Rutherfordton; M. B. McDaniel, of
Asheville; and two sisters, Mrs. W.
J. Mode and Mrs. John Saunders.
Her many friends are rejoiced to
see Miss Kate Summey out again
following her recent injuries in an
automobile accident.
Where are you spending the hot
evenings? What more inviting place
is offered than Woodland Swimming
Pool? Come out and take a dip in
Rutherford county's best swimming
pool. . 39-2t.
