Kentucky Post, Monday, 23 February 1903, page 5

John B Daly, 38, son of ex-Mayor M V Daly, died Sunday night at 10:10 at his home 115 West Fifth Street, Newport. Throat trouble was the cause of his death and Saturday afternoon a surgical operation was performed but toward evening he grew worse and continued to decline.

He was connected for many years with the James Walsh Distilling Company of Covington and was a brother of Mrs. Peter O'Shaughnessy of York Street, Newport and Mrs. Belle Cloud of Third Street. He was one of the best known men in Newport and was called the man with the big heart. Many acts of charity are to his credit and among the poor he will be sadly missed.

The funeral will take place Wednesday morning from the Immaculate Conception Church at 9 am.
