"Real Estate Transfers: The following real estate transfers were recorded in October…J. F. IVERSON, trustee, to July [=Julia] F. DANIEL and Lunsford DANIEL, portion of city lot No. 238, $5.00. [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Tuesday, 02 NOV 1880, p. 4.]
" – Lunsford DANIEL, formerly of this city, but now stationed in Arizona, is in Georgia enjoying a few weeks furlough. He is visiting his sister at Concord, Ga." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Wednesday, 25 JAN 1893, p. 4.]
"LIEUTENANT DANIEL: OF THE SIXTH UNITED STATES CAVALRY IS A VISITOR IN COLUMBUS. // Second Lieutenant Lunsford DANIEL, of the Sixth United States Cavalry, stationed at Fort Yellowstone, Wyoming, in the Yellowstone Park, and only a short distance from the Dakota line, is in Columbus spending a part of his leave of absence. // Two companies are stationed in the park to protect the game and the forests. Thousands of tourists go through every summer and as Lieutenant DANIEL says, one has no idea what a vandal the average tourist is. They have a tendency to cut their names on every tree in sight and carve them upon the formations there. About 140 miles of road is patroled every day by the soldiers, everything is under their supervision. The fort is right at the Mammoth Spring Hotel. Lieutenant DANIEL was formerly a Columbus boy, and is well known here. He entered the army seven years ago as a private, and his promotion was rapid and flattering. He has been stationed at Yellowstone for two years. The park is full of game, elks, antelope, bear, buffalo and game of every description abound. Lieutenant DANIEL says that he has seen a thousand elks in one drove. But with all this, no hunting is allowed. Poaching is a misdemeanor and punishable by law. // He gives a very glowing description of the scenery. Right in the midst of the Rockies, it can be nothing else than magnificent." [Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Friday, 10 MAR 1893, p. 4]
"THROWN FROM HIS HORSE AND KILLED—The Enquirer-Sun has received information that First Lieutenant Lunsford DANIEL, who was born and raised in Columbus, was thrown from his horse at Fort Yellowstone on Sunday and so severely injured that he died on Thursday last. Lieut. DANIEL left Columbus about ten years since, and his numerous friends will be greatly pained to learn of his sudden death by a terrible accident."
