Mrs. Mary Busby, wife of George W. Busby and daughter of the late John C. Daily, died at the residence of her mother on west Main street on last Friday afternoon, after lingering illness of seventeen weeks. Deceased was born at Thorntown in 1849, but the greater part of her life was spent in Lebanon. She was married to George W. Busby in the year 1876, and through her life has been one of pain and suffering, they lived happily together, and her only desire to live, as she expressed it was on account of the affectionate husband who had tenderly cared for her as a child during her long illness. Not withstanding her painful illness, she retained the possession of her faculties until the last, and gave minute directions in regard to the disposition of her remains. It has been generally understood that she like her father, was an atheist, but before her death came to end her sufferings, she expressed a belief in Divinity and immortality, and stated that if she had her life to live over she would be a Christian. The funeral which occurred at half past two o'clock on last Sunday was largely attended. The casket containing the body was placed in the large double parlors of the Daily mansion, where brief religious services were held, Rev. H.A. Merrill, of the M.E. Church officiating. By request of deceased, a quartet from the M.E. choir sang the beautiful hymn, "Whiter than Snow," after which Rev. Merrill spoke briefly of the life and character of the deceased. The assembled friends and family then took a last look at the body, and the casket was closed and prepared for transportation to the cemetery. The hearse was drawn by four white horses, and was accompanied by the following pall-bearers; W.A. Kenworthy, Barton S. Higgins, R.W. Matthews, T.P. Kenworthy, E.T. Lane and Charles E. Wilson, each of whom had been selected by Mrs. Busby before her death to perform the last sad rites at her funeral. The services at the grave were very brief, Rev. Merrill simply offering a fervent prayer for the soul cone beyond and for those who mourned.

Americus C. Daily, pioneer citizen of Lebanon and one of the best known men in Indiana, died at his residence on west Washington street at ten o'clock on last Tuesday night, after an illness of many months, due to disease of the kidneys. During the past several weeks he had been confined to his home, but was bed fast only a week preceding his demise. At times he lapsed into a stupor during the last few days of his illness, but there were recurring periods of consciousness when he conversed with clearness of mind to the nurses and to members of the family. The philosophy which served him well in so many severe trials in life was with him to the end, and he surrendered mortality unflinching and uncomplaining. Americus Calvin Daily was a native of Ohio, but the greater portion of his life was spent in Lebanon. His great grandfather David Daily, was a native of north Ireland, who came to America with his two brothers during the colonial period, and served with distinction as a soldier in the Revolutionary army. After independence was won, David Daily settled in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in farming. He married Elizabeth Overfield and in 1816 moved to Miami county, Ohio, residing there until 1833, when he came to Boone county, settling near Thorntown, where he died in 1860 at the age of 82 years. Charles Daily, father of A.C. was a native of Pennsylvania. He was married in Clark county, Ohio to Mary Hay, to whom six children were born viz; Benjamin O., who was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana; Americus C., Henry H., Samuel S., Charles O. and David H. who were born in New Carlislie, Ohio. It is rather peculiar that fact that no deaths occurred in the family of the Elder Charles Daily or in any of the families of his children until after he celebrated his sixtieth anniversary of his marriage. Charles Daily became a citizen of Lebanon in 18-- and continued to reside here with his good wife until his death, November 2, 1893, aged 98. His widow who passed away a few years later, was greatly beloved by all who knew her. Americus C. Daily was born in New Carlisle, Ohio, March 10, 1835, and there he received his elementary education. Later he attended Linden Hill academy, where he developed an aptitude for learning that won the lasting regard of his instructor, Professor Thomas Harrison, A.M., D.D., a noted educator of Ohio, and at one time associate editor of the Western Christian Advocate. Mr. Daily was twice married. His first wife, Nettie Blue, was a beautiful character and was greatly beloved by all who had the good fortune to be numbered in her list of friends and acquaintances. She died in Lebanon many years ago and her remains were returned to the old home in Ohio for interment. Subsequently, he married Mrs. Maggie F. McCorkle, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio. She was a woman of noble impulses, and during the many years of residence in Lebanon she won the affectionate regard of the entire community. Soon after Mr. Daily retired from the office of State Auditor, Mrs. Daily's health began to fail, and she died in April, 1899. She had been the chief support of her distinguished husband in all of his undertakings - his loving counsellor, his safest advisor, his best friend. Mr. Daily never recovered from the shock occasioned by the loss of his faithful companion. The world seemed to no longer interest to him. His grief was unspeakable - pathetically enduring. To this union three children were born, a daughter, Carrie, a beautiful child, who died in her little girlhood; Charles Earl, a physician who is located in Oklahoma, and Blanche, wife of William Wood, of South bend. Earl is married and has one child; a daughter: Blanche has no children of her own, but has two that have been legally adopted. These constitute Mr. Daily's direct heirs. Of his brother's but one survives, David H., who has long served as a bookkeeper in the Lebanon National bank. Deceased left an estate which is understood to have been disposed of by will, which represents a value of perhaps half a million dollars. One of his last acts of a public nature was the donation of the beautiful pipe organ of Centenary Methodist church, which was installed in the new church as a memorial to his faithful and beloved wife Maggie McCorkle Daily.

Benjamin Daily, an old resident of Lebanon died at his home on West Main street last Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m. or heart failure. The deceased was born at Crawfordsville in 1832 and while quite young, moved together with his brothers, S.S. and A.C., to Springfield, O., where he was after wards married to Miss Clara Perkins, who still survives him. He came to Lebanon in 1859 and has lived here ever since. His remains were interred in the new cemetery Tuesday. His great grandfather David Daily, was a native of north Ireland, who came to America with his two brothers during the colonial period, and served with distinction as a soldier in the Revolutionary army. After independence was won, David Daily settled in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in farming.

Mrs. Maggie Daily, wife of ex-auditor of State, A.C. Daily, died at 5 o'clock last Thursday evening at her home, corner of West and Washington street, from a tumor or cancerous growth of the liver, involving other organs. Her health had been declining since last November, but not until the last few weeks had she been confined to her bed. Following the close of Mr. Daily's term of office as auditor of state, she accompanied Mr. Daily and Hon W.D. Owen and wife on a trip to Old Mexico, hoping that it would be one of benefit to her health, as well as one of pleasure, and on their return was on the train when Mrs. Owens so suddenly expired. At that time she was feeling badly and grew weaker, and on her arrival here she was taken to the home of C.B. Hicks until they could take possession of their own house, and on Saturday preceding her death she was removed to her old home, which she left four years ago; thus the few remaining days she spent amidst familiar surroundings. Mrs. Daily was the daughter of Solomon and Ruth McCorkle, and was born May 16th 1843, at Mechanicsburg, Champaign, county, Ohio, where she lived until December 19, 1867, when she married Mr. Daily. She then came to this city, where she has ever since resided, except for years temporary residence at Indianapolis. She was the mother of five children, two of whom died in infancy. The two living are Charles Earl, of Chicago, and Miss Blanche, aged about sixteen. Besides the husband and children, she leaves one brother, living at Mechanicsburg, O., and three sisters, - Mrs. James H. Dye and Mrs. Mary Baldwin, of Urbana, O., and Mrs. John Henry, of DesMoines, Ia.

Samuel S. Daily, who died at his home in Lebanon, Indiana, on Friday, July 15, 1892, was born in New Carlisle, Ohio, November, 6, 1841. After taking a course in the common schools of his native town, he attended Prof. Harrison's academy in that place, and there completed his education. Being of a large family, he early learned the lessons of self-reliance, and it may be said of him in truth that he was essentially and thoroughly a self-made man. At an early stage of the war of the rebellion, he enlisted in the cause in behalf of the Union, and was assigned to the Sixteenth Ohio Battery. After eighteen months service in that capacity, he was discharged on account of disabilities incurred during the campaigns in which he had participated, and thereupon, in October, 1863, he became a resident of Lebanon, taking a position with his brother, Mr. A.C. Daily, in the county auditor's office. Subsequently, however, he re-enlisted, and was assigned to the 135th regiment, commanded by the late Colonel William C. Wilson of Lafayette. After the close of the war, Mr. Daily returned to Lebanon and engaged in the dry goods business with Richard S. Camplin, the firm being well and favorably remembered by older citizens as that of Camplin & Daily. This partnership continued until 1870, when Mr. Daily was elected county treasurer, as a democrat, although the county was at that time considered reliably republican, and his successful contest for the office was largely due to his well deserved personal popularity. In 1872, he was re-elected, and after the close of his second term he purchased the interest of the late Silas A. Lee in the private banking institution of Hazelrigg, Daily & Co., his brother, A.C. Daily, being one of the senior partners. Subsequently he served one year as cashier of the First National Bank, and then returned to the institution with which he had formerly been associated. In 1882, the business which had so long been conducted under the firm name of Hazelrigg, Dougherty & Co., later as Hazelrigg, Daily & Co., and finally as A.C. Daily & Co., was merged into a corporation and established under the title of the Lebanon National bank. A.C. Daily, president, and S.S. Daily, cashier, and under that organization the business was successfully continued to the day of the death of the subject of this sketch. In 1884, the democratic party again honored him by sending him as a delegate to the national convention, held in Chicago. which nominated Grover Cleveland for the presidency. On the 12th day of October, 1865, Mr. Daily was married to Zerelda Dougherty, daughter of the late Judge Lorenzo C. Dougherty, and as a result of that union, two children were born - J. Frank Daily and Rush Daily, both of whom, with their mother, survive the death of one of the most devoted of husbands and fathers that ever lived.
The Funeral
The high place which the deceased held in the esteem of his very wide circle of friends and acquaintances was shown by the attendance at the last rites and funeral on Sunday. The services which were held at the residence on Indianapolis Avenue at three o'clock, were opened by singing, scripture readings and an impressive prayer. Rev. McKinsey read an interesting biography and closed with an eulogy portraying the many virtues of the deceased, his great love for home and family, his active, honorable business career, the trust reposed in him by kindred and public. The words uttered in his praise by the minister received a reverential amen from the listeners. Before leaving the house an opportunity was given friends to gaze upon the face of him whom they had loved and respected in life. The cloth trimmed, satin lined, state casket, in which the body reposed was almost concealed by the many beautiful floral offerings. About twelve hundred persons viewed the calm, upturned face which appeared as natural as in life. The procession then formed, headed by the band which followed by the Knights of Pythias and Red Men. There were about five hundred members of these two orders in line, among them being many representatives from neighboring lodges. The funeral car came next, followed by a long line of carriages and buggies, containing relatives and friends. The lines of procession was over a mile in length. At the grave the two lodges preformed their respective burial services after which all that was mortal of Samuel S. Daily were lowered into that narrow grave, his home until Judgment day. The following incident in the life of Samuel S. Daily will be of interest to the many friends he has left behind: At the homestead where he was raised there was well about forty feet in depth walled up with stone. From this well the family supply of water was obtained by means of windlass and a bucket. Young Samuel at the age of 20 months, unobserved by any one, went to the well to get a drink, and in climbing over the well curb lost his balance and fell to the bottom, alighting on his feet in the water which just reached his shoulders; he had been missed from the house about 15 or 20 minutes, when his mother upon going to the well for water, was prompted by some unknown means to look into the well before letting the heavy oaken bucket descend. A piercing scream from her discovered to others the presence of her boy at the bottom of the well, unhurt. It was by a few moments until the door yard was filled with excited people. Presently a stalwart young man, a stranger to all present pushed his way through the excited throng, to the well and descended it to rescue the child, and restored him unscathed to his mother. Shortly after the occurrence, the young man left the place, and nothing was known of him by the grateful family until one evening during the late war, as Samuel who was a member of the 16th Ohio Battery, doing service in Missouri, was passing through the quarters of an Illinois regiment. He heard a soldier speak the name of Capt. Chapman, who upon investigating was found to be the young man who had taken Samuel out of the well twenty years before.

Died - On the 6th inst., in Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana, of dyspeptic consumption, James L. Edwards, aged 35 years, 10 months and 14 days. James L. Edwards was born in Brown county, Kentucky, and lived there till he was about twenty years old, and moved to Indiana. When the rebellion broke out Mr. Edwards entered the service a stout, hearty robust man, just such men as Kentucky produces and did good service as a member of the 45th Regiment Indiana Volunteers, designated as the 3d Cavalry, for three years and two months. He came out of service of his country with a broken down constitution, a mere wreck of the man that went into the service, to linger on in feeble health, sometimes cheered up with the seeming prospect of returning health, but never leaving him that much lower on the declining plane of human life. Mr. Edwards became a Christian in early life by being immersed at Brownsburg, Indiana, by Elder T. Lockhart, from which time he tried to live a devoted christian. It was his lot to suffer much, yet he would not complain. The writer of this often talked with him in relation to his sufferings and his prospects for heaven and immortal glory. He was always confident, saying that he knew in whom he had trusted, that his master would do all things well, that he was ready to go, only regretting to leave a young family, a tender and loving wife to contend with the care of life alone, yet he was willing to leave them in his Master's care, who heareth the widow's prayer and the orphan's cry; on whose loving breast he was permitted to lean, and trusted to be permitted to breathe his life out sweetly there. Mr. Edwards leaves a wife, three children and one sister, (Mrs. Fannie Allee), in this place, to mourn his loss. May they, with all who knew him, remember too that they must die, like him, try to secure a home up yonder.

The people of Lebanon were shocked last Thursday morning to learn that one of the county's most worthy and most highly respected citizens, Josiah S. Harrison, had paid his debt to nature and gone to the realm across the sea of death. He had been ailing for several days from a surgical operation and just as he was apparently getting better, he took inflammation of the nerves and for three days suffered intensely until death came as a welcome messenger to free his spirit from its earthly tabernacle. Hundreds of people called at the home on West Main street during Thursday and Friday forenoon to pay their respect to the deceased and take a last look at the placid countenance as he lay in the cold embrace of death. Friends extended sympathy to the bereaved wife and sons who felt so seriously their loss of a most devoted companion and counsellor. The funeral occurred Friday afternoon from the Methodist church where religious services were conducted by Rev. Kindig assisted by Rev's Pavey and McKinzie, each of whom had been the deceased pastor and had known much of his inner life and well of his comings and goings among the people. Rev. Kindig preached from the text "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord" - a text of Mr. Harrison's own selection. The personal tribute paid by each of the ministers to the life of the deceased, was most emphatic as to his integrity and high moral worth. In church society or business circles no many stood higher, and no man will be greater missed in these avenues of life. The remains were peacefully laid away in Rodefer cemetery to await resurrection of the just. The following biography of the deceased is authentic. Josiah S. Harrison was born October 9, 1843, near Mechanicsburg, Boone county, Indiana. He received an ordinary common school education. He has always been a republican, and cast his first presidential vote for Lincoln, and subsequently voted for Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Blaine and Harrison. With him principle was everything, but he regarded the republican party the proper medium through which principle was to be maintained. July 23, 1861, he enlisted in the eleventh regiment of Indiana volunteers, called the Zouave regiment, and commanded by Lew Wallace. He was a true and faithful soldier until he was discharged at Crump's landing, Tenn., March 31, 1862, on account of general disability. August 20, 1863, he married Caroline Riley, daughter of James and Matilda E. Riley. To them were born three children, namely Ira E., Edward J. and John B. Edward J. died at the age of seven years; Ira E. was married in Lawrence, Douglas county, Kansas, to Theodosia A. Bishop, in 1884, and moved to Lebanon, Boone county, Ind., where he resides at this time. April, 1878, he was elected trustee of Washington township and served two years, and after wards was appointed to fill the unexpired term of George E. Conrad, who had resigned. April, 1882, he was elected his own successor, which trust he held until September 10, 1883, when he resigned and moved to Lebanon, and accepted a deputyship under John W. Hawkins, county treasurer. In 1886 Mr. Harrison was elected county treasurer, and filled the office with so much ability and fidelity that, in 1888, he was re-elected with an increased majority. At the expiration of his office, he engaged in the abstract and loan business, at which he was still engaged at the time of his death. he was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, of the I.O.O.F. and of the Methodist church. After the death of his wife, he married Elizabeth A. Keys, August 11, 1890, daughter of John and Frances Keys north of Lebanon.

Word of the death of John J. Waterbury, an aged veteran of the Civil war well known to many of the older residents of Lebanon who passed away at 8:30 a.m. yesterday at the National Soldier's Home at Danville, Ill., was received by friends in this city yesterday afternoon. Death came to the aged veteran as a result of complications incident to advanced age from which he had suffered for the past several years. John J. Waterbury was born in Michigan and at the time of his death was near 92 years of age. In his early manhood he moved to Frankfort and was employed as a tailor. Several years before the outbreak of the war, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Walters of Frankfort. Upon the outbreak of the war, he enlisted with Co. I of the 100th Indiana Regiment. With the close of the war, Mr. Waterbury made his home in Lebanon for a number of years and although since that time he had never resided in Frankfort, he was closely connected with the Civil war veterans who resided there. The Frankfort Times says: "He was a prominent figure at the reunions of Company I, which have been held at Frankfort since the conclusion of the war, having attended every reunion with the exception of the last two. He was prevented from attending these reunions, by poor health, from which he has suffered for the last several years. His wife who passed away several years ago was buried here, Frankfort having been considered their home by Mr. and Mrs. Waterbury. Mr. Waterbury is survived by but one relative, a son, Robert A. Waterbury, residing at Indianapolis. The body of the aged veteran will be returned to this city today, (Thursday) and services will be held in the Goodwin Funeral parlors at 2 p.m. Friday."
