Died at Athens, Greece
A telegram received here on Sunday by Mrs. James O'Neil, sister of D. E. McGinley from Washington, D. C., announcing the sad news of the death of her brother, was a severe shock to his relatives and numerous friends here, as no word had been received here that he had been ill. Although not enjoying very good health for some years, he generally traveled several months each year through European countries for the benefit of his health, and only a few weeks ago, when we received the interesting write-up of his travels during his vacation, he wrote us that his health was very much improved and that he was feeling better than he had for some time. The remains will be brought here and buried in the family lot at Saukville.

Daniel E. McGinley was named consul at Athens by President McKinley Dec. 17, 1897, and had served within a few weeks of seven years, having reached his post less than two months after his appointment. He was born in Saxonville, Mass., in 1846, and came with his people to Wisconsin and Ozaukee county in 1851. He enlisted in 1863 in the Sixteenth Wisconsin infantry, and served with it to the end of the war, participating in Sherman's campaigns, including the battles around Kenesaw, Atlanta, and Savannah and the marches to the sea and through the Carolinas, being one of Sherman's foragers on the latter march. After the war he was a lumberman for some years at Manistee, Mich., where he lost a foot by an accident. He then returned to his home in Ozaukee County and engaged in teaching school until 1892.

He was secretary of the Ozaukee County Agricultural society eleven years, and was secretary of the State Fair Managers' Association three terms. He always was an active member of the Republican Party, and was the nominee of his party for county clerk in 1882, register of deed in 1888, and for member of the assembly in 1894. He was a delegate to the republican national convention of 1896. He was also a member of the republican county committee of Ozaukee County. He resided in Cedarburg four years, prior to his appointment, and was an active member of the G. A. R.
