A Brave Fight For Life Ended
Daniel Stafford Darragh Answers the Last Summons
Beaver has been saddened by the death of Daniel Stafford Darragh, which occured at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, in Pontiac, Michigan. Mr. Darragh was one of the people highly endowed with the qualities which help to form warmest friendship and love, and the news of the end of the brave fight he made for life brings grief to many heats.
Daniel Darragh was born in Bridgewater, November 25th, 1873, but has lived in Beaver since 1884, attending the public schools of the town and later Allegheny College at Meadville, Pennsylvania. He was descended from a distinguished ancestry on both sides, his great-grandfather being John Hart, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his grandfather, Robert Darragh, one of the staunch pioneers of Beaver County, while his maternal grandfather, Daniel Weyand, was one of the distinguished jurists of Somerset county. From ancestors noted for the characteristics which make for highest citizenship, and remarkable also for the unusual length of life alloted them, Daniel Darragh inherited the qualities which made him among the first to respond to the call for volunteers in the Spanish-American War, and the situation which enabled him to battle so valiantly with a complication of diseases contracted in the enervating climate of the Phillippines. At the breaking out of the war Mr. Darragh was connected with the engineer's office of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad, his position being held for him during his absence, and through his long illness.
He served as corporal in Company B, Tenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, until the regiment disbanded, in August, 1899.
He married in October, 1904, Lulu Anderson Chessrown, of Monongahela, Pa., who with a young son, survives him. He also leaves and aged father, a brother, Robert W. Darragh, Esq., and two sisters, Susan and Mary.
The funeral services will be held at the family residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Interment in the Beaver cemetery.
