[Transcribed on January 26, 2008 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Daniel (Tucker) AXE, son of Jacob and Eliza (DARROW) AXE, was born at Ashland, Ohio, January 11, 1847. He obeyed the summons to life's call November 13, 1938, aged ninety-one years, ten months and three days. IN the spring of 1851 the family moved from Ohio to a farm near Old Tulip. There he grew to manhood. With the exception of his early years his entire life was spent in Greene County, where he engaged in the interest of farming. In the year 1879 he was united in marriage to Mary Ann (TERRELL) EDWARDS. To this union was born six children. Two preceded their father in death, namely, Edward and Daniel. The surviving children are Harry AXE, or Linton; John W. AXE, at whose home in Taylor Township, he passed away; Margaret, now Mrs. George CARNEGIE, of near Scotland, and Lee AXE, of Hammond. Besides these he had a step-son, Samuel EDWARDS, who was as near in his affections as his own children. He also leaves thirteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. His companion preceded him in death in February 1929. Since that time he has made his home with his children. He was fond of the out-of-doors. He loved those things with which nature clothes this earth, the flowers, the trees, and the streams and the birds, that fill this earth with song. He possessed an active mind and was keenly interest in world affairs. He spent much time in reading the daily papers and could converse at length on affairs of the day. He enjoyed talking to friends and acquaintances and recalling incidents of his youth. He had a wonderful memory and was very witty in his conversation. The community will greatly feel the loss of a very respected and loyal citizen. He has gone from among us, yet his life has left lasting impressions that time will not erase. - We wish to thank our friends, neighbors, the minister, the singers, and everyone who assisted in any way during the illness and after the death of our father, Daniel AXE. Mr. and Mrs. John AXE, Mr. and Mrs. Lee AXE, Mr. and Mrs. Harry AXE, Mr. and Mrs. George CARNEGIE. - NOTES-RLJ: CEMETERIES OF EASTERN GREENE COUNTY, 1939, G.C.H.S., Cass Township, Newberry, Cemetery, Page 1, Column 1: AXE, Daniel W.
