EDWARD DALEY
Ed Daley, a former Boone county boy, died at Carroll Thursday March 9.
Mr. Daley lived with the family of Jeremiah Lucey for years. the Carroll
Sentinel gives the following report:
Ed Daley, one of Carroll's respected citizens, died at his home in the
third ward Thursday evening. During the past two months he was confined
to his bed with heart trouble. He was of a naturally robust
constitution, a hard worker and struggled manfully against the inroads
the disease was making upon him. He was always hopeful and never gave
up.
His funeral was held at St. Joseph's church Saturday morning. Rev. Fr.
O'Connor preaching the sermon. The funeral was largely attended, for all
who knew Ed Daley respected him. His death is peculiarly a sad one for
he leaves a family of six small children fatherless. The loving wife
watched over and cared for her husband during his declining days with a
fortitude worthy of her sex and which marks her a kind and Christian
woman. Mr. Daley carried a policy in the Banker's Life Insurance company
for $2000. The wife and family have the sympathy of the community in
this their sad loss.

In the 1870 Census, Boone Co, IA, listed with Jeremiah Lucey are Annie
Daley, 16, b. Pa. and Edward Daley, 12. b. Mo. both parents of both
foreign born. Apparently Edward & a sister? Lyman Morrison thinks
Jeremiah Lucey was supposed to have adopted Edward Daley, perhaps as
an adult, but has no court records of such.

At the boarding house of Mr. John Grace in Boone, on Monday afternoon,
March 20th occurred the death of Edward Wiseman, in the 27th year of his

Mr. Wiseman has been a resident of this town and vicinity for about
three years past. For a year he has been in the round house of the
Northwestern railway here, until within a few weeks when he took a
position as fireman on the line between Ames and Callanan. Taking a
cold, he stuck to his work for some says but was obliged to return here,
and survived the attack, which was of the character of pneumonia, for
