Daniel O'Day dies.
Daniel O'Day, president of the National Transit Company, well known here and related to the prominent Elmira family, died yesterday in Routen, in the south of France. Death resulted from a hemorrhage of the stomach after a year's illness. Born in Kildysart, Ireland, he was 62 years old. Daniel O'Day came to America with his family when a very young man and went to buffalo, later going into Pennsylvania oil fields. He was known as the greatest man in the pipe line industry later in his life, for it was as a transporter of oil and petroleum that he made his start. He was put in charge of the first line operated by John D. Rockefeller, who had taken the South Improvement Company, which ran into the Standard Oil Company.
From then on Mr. O'Day's rise was almost phenomenal until at the time of his death he was one of the big men in the Standard Oil Company. His town home in New York City was at 128 West 72nd street and his house at Long Beach was one of the show places of the town. There are 12 children. Elmira Gazette and Free Press September 14, 1906
