Here is a small article on Joel Daniel that came from the Denzil Daniel
Family Newsletter of November 1980.
"During the latter years of his lengthy life of 89 years, "Uncle Joe", as he
was affectionally called, moved to Posey (near present Saxon) where he lived
in a house near the present Lillian Hurst Clay home. It was there that his
life came to an end on May 10, 1920. Some neighbors made for him a homemade
casket - which was the custom at that time - in which his remains were placed.
Floyd Milam, a close friend and neighbor transported his remains to Bolt on his
wagon, where he was buried by the side of his first wife in the Farmer
Cemetery."
