More about the Dailys.....Elmer E. Daily was born in Illinois. He is the son of John R. Daily and Susan Catherine Lowe, both born in Indiana. This is the only photo I have of Elmer or his siblings, Viola, Melcena, and Minnie. He and Mary Dyer applied for a marriage license in Jackson County, MO. in 1884. Both indicated on the license that they were from Franklin County, Kansas at the time. In searching city directories in Kansas City, MO, I discovered that Elmer was a postal carrier in 1899 and possibly also 1898. By 1900, he's listed as a lawyer. His home adress in 1900 was 3808 East 10th Street, Kansas City, MO. By 1900 he and his wife had three children, Winfield (my grandfather); Minnie, and Viola.
Little is known about the Elmer E. family. I have made contact with living relatives in Kansas City, MO who indicate they may have photos of Winfield and his parents and siblings. I hope one day to meet them and perhaps scan some of the photos. It would be wonderful to have a photo of Winfield!
