Notes

  My sisters and I went to the California University of Pennsylvania's library on Saturday to do your lookup on Samuel McDaid's death. We did not find an "obit" as such but we did find this entry in the Daily Reporter (believe this was the old Washington Observer) on Monday, December 24, 1889:
  "S. S. McDaid, who carries the mail daily between West Finley and West Alexander, died very suddenly on Saturday evening. Mr. McDaid had finished his day's work and while entering the house fell dead in the doorway. Heart disease is supposed to have caused his death. He had been carrying the mail for about six months."
  We searched the Daily Reporter for several days afterwards and in the December 27, 1889 edition found another note as follows: "Geo. W. McDaid has been appointed postmaster at West Finley." This was Samuel's younger brother and we wonder if he took over Samuel's position at the Post Office. We have also learned that George McDaid was a Civil War Vet and died from cancer on 19 June 1913
