Daniel. [Surname: IRONS] This
obituary was provided to us on 03 Dec 2001 by
David Nelson, who has no relationship whatsoever to this family; however,
he came upon the article during another pursuit and furnished it to us.
His purpose is to call attention to this obituary because it serves as a classic
example of how an ancestor might disappear from the records and appear untraceable!!!!
The state prison mentioned is located in Michigan City, Indiana. (From:
Michigan City Dispatch, Thursday, March 14, 1907.) DEATH OF A CONVICT.
Daniel Irons, a colored convict at the state prison, aged 42 years, died
yesterday of liver complaint, after an illness of four months. The prisoner
was received from Madison County on Jan. 12, 1904, to
serve from one year to three years for petit larceny. He has no folks
and his body will probably be sent to a medical school."
