Wilson O. Daniels - death certificate

My great great grandmother's second husband, Wilson O. Daniels died on October 10, 1903 in Chicago, Illinois.    Here is his death certificate from Cook County, Illinois.

Abigail and Wilson had only been married for 8 years when he passed away at the age of 51.    

















I have not been able to locate the marriage certificate for Abigail's third marriage to Louis Clifford Kiefer, but it would have been between October 11, 1903 and April 30, 1904, based upon the 1910 US Census which indicated they had been married for 6 years.

Abigail Williams Emery Daniels Kiefer - death certificate

Here is the death certificate for my great great grandmother, Abigail Williams Emery Daniels Kiefer.   When you have doubts that you are on the right track, these vital records often help tie things together.

 The "informant" is listed as my great grandfather, Fred Daniels, Abigail's eldest son.    The death certificate correctly lists Abigail's parents, Basil Williams and Elizabeth Richie, who are also listed on Abigail's first marriage license to Fred J Emery in Iowa.    

Abigail died April 23, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois.   Her third husband, Louis Clifford Kiefer preceded her in death on October 29, 1930, also in Chicago.

Abigail is buried at the Oakhill Cemetery in Worth Township, Cook County, Illinois.

Fred Owen Emery Daniels death certificate

 Here is the Cook County, Illinois death certificate for my great grandfather, Fred Owen Emery Daniels.    He was only 49 when he passed away of a heart attack on October 22, 1937 in Chicago.

Fred was buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.   
























Fred's wife, Mabel provided the personal information found on the death certificate.   Mabel apparently did not know the correct name of her father-in-law or where he was born.   The name looks like Willis or Wilkes Daniels though Wilson Daniels was Fred's step-father.   The the place of birth was Iowa, which was correct as he was born in Washington County, Iowa.

His father was Fred J Emery, born in Galva, Illinois.     His mother was Abigail Williams, born in Iowa, though I do not know the name of the city.

Fred Owen Emery changed his name to Fred Emery Daniels sometime prior to his marriage in 1910, but as far as I know, his father never changed his last name from Emery to Daniels.
