Daisy was one of 22 persons who died in the "East Paris Train Wreck" which occurred on December 26, 1903 in Kent County, Michigan.

The wreck involved east- and west-bound trains on the Pere Marquette Railway. Cause was said to be a westbound stop signal which was blown out by strong winds. Staff tried to alert a nearby farmer - probably to restore the signal - but they were unable to prevent the crash. The crash killed a total of 22 people and injured 40.
