Chandler Daily Publicist. (Chandler, Okla. Terr.), Thursday, October 15, 1903
Daniel W. Ulam.
Daniel W. Ulam was born at Freeport, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1845. He died at Chandler, Okla., October 12, 1903, aged 58 years, 6 months and 27 days. Funeral services were conducted from the home at 2 o’clock p.m. Tuesday, October 13, by the Knights of Pythias, the sermon being preached by Rev. J.A. Ferguson. The funeral was very largely attended, almost the entire lodge attending and attesting the esteem in which they held their departed brother. The schools, the post office, the county offices, and many of the business houses were closed for his funeral. Masses of beautiful flowers spoke silently of the sympathy of friends in the hour of the family’s unspeakable sorrow.
Mr. Ulam’s life was an active one. At the age of 17 he moved with his parents to Princeton, Iowa, where one year later he enlisted in Co C, 2nd Iowa cavalry and served his country until the close of the war.
He was married to Miss Emma L. Parkhurst September 20, 1868. Six children were born to them, all of whom survive him and were with him in his last hours. They are P.L. Ulam, Mrs. E.W. Botkin, John, Whitney and Nellie Ulam of this city and Mrs. Geo. Mack of Hobart. Mrs. Ulam died nine years ago on the same day of the month as her husband. Altho the family had always been closely united, the death of the wife and mother cemented them even more firmly and from that hour Mr. Ulam lived for his children who in turn lavished upon him every affection. Their devotion to him in his long suffering from Bright’s disease which caused his death, has been most touching.
In 1878 Mr. Ulam moved with his family to Butler county, Kansas, where they lived until the opening of the Sac and Fox country to settlement when they came to Lincoln county. Mr. Ulam took a claim eight miles northwest of town near Ida where the family lived until after Mr. Ulam’s election to the office of county treasurer which he filled for four years. He sold the farm during his term of office and has since resided in Chandler, owning his home on Steele avenue and other town property.
Since living here he has taken an active part in the affairs of the city, having served several terms as a member of the school board and also on the old town council.
Mr. Ulam was a very companionable man, genial and interested in all that was going on in the world. His old friends have stood close by him during the long period of his suffering and there have been few hours in the past months when some friend outside of the family was not at his bedside. Be bore his suffering with great fortitude and met death bravely.
