Daniel spent his remaining days among his children and lived with his daughter, Mrs. Amanda Malvina Hale Ward, at her home near Walton after he was suffering from paralysis(stroke). He died at her home 22 May 1874. Daniel was always a pioneer farmer. His leading characteristics were his sterling honesty, his industry and frugality, and his religious zeal. A devout and consistent Christian, he died in the hope of a glorious immortality.
