Daniel came with his parents to Kansas in 1856 and settled in Douglas County. He was converted and united with the Washington Creek Baptist Church in 1866.
He was married to Miss Alice M. Williams December 23, 1869. To them were born nine children, two whom died in childhood; the eldest Mrs. Fred Baker, died in this city in August 1903. The other six survive him and were present at his funeral. They are; W.M. Smith, of Utopia, Kansas, Etta M. Weathers, of Hinton, Oklahoma, Ella S. Wilson, of Rosalia, Kansas, Anna R. Marr of Knowles, Oklahoma, Arthur L. and Aletha L. Smith, of Eureka.
Mr. Smith was ordained to the full work of the Gospel ministry in 1877, by the Washington Creek Baptist church. His ministry was spent in Douglas, Jefferson, Allen, Osage, Wabansee, Pottawatomie, Jackson and Greenwood counties, this state. Most of his ministry was what would be called pioneer work, opening new fields and building up weak churches, for which work he was especially adapted. For the past two years on account of ill health he was complied to retire from active services.
He leaves behind as immediate relatives a wife, six children, two sisters, Mrs. Martha Talley of Lone Star, Kansas, Mrs. Malissa Irwin of Santa Barbara, California, a brother, Wm. Smith, of Lone Star, Kansas, a half brother, Geo. Crumley of Emporia, Kansas, four sons-in-law, Fred Baker, of Eskridge, Kansas, E.G. Weathers of Hinton, Oklahoma, R.O. Marr, of Knowles, Oklahoma, G.S. Wilson of Rosalia, Kansas, fourteen grandchildren and a host of friends.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church Sunday, May 10, 1914, at 10 o'clock conducted by his pastor, Rev. Hoover in the presence of a very large gathering of neighbors and friends.
The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The Masonic fraternity took charge of the body at the church and laid it to rest in the Greenwood cemetery with their beautiful and impressive burial ceremony. Thus another of our honored citizens is gone but influence will abide with us "And by being dead yet speaketh"
