Cemetery, Sherman, along with his mother Sarah K. Daniels died in 1893. The notice in The Sunday Gazetteer reads: "Mrs. Daniels, mother to Lee Daniels, the compositor well known in newspaper circles in Denison, died last week in Ft. Worth. Sherman has been the old family homestead for many years and the body was shipped to that city for interment." (The Sunday Gazetteer, February 12, 1893, pg.4)  Ludlow
Lee Daniels lived most of his life in Ft. Worth and Dallas but got his
training in the printing trade in Denison. He spent most of his
life working for the Dallas Morning News, which published a newsworthy
obituary for him in 1931.   Biography Index Susan Hawkins © 2024 If you find any of Grayson County TXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
