OBIT
Decatur County Journal
November 20, l884
Tuesday evening, DANIEL HINE, generally known as "UNCLE DAN", died at his residence in Center Township. He was born near Hartford, Connecticut, about the beginning of the century. Of his early life we know but little, except that he was a sailor and learned the saddle and harness-making business. He came to Decatur County about l858, and resided at Garden Grove. He enlisted in the 3rd Iowa Cavalry, Co. "Q" in l86l. He was then about 60 years old; was discharged for disability in l863; afterwards enlisted in the 4th Iowa Cavalry, and served until the end of the war. In consequence of his age, he was assigned as company saddler, but that did not prevent him from sharing the dangers and duties of camp and field, and none more bravely discharged them.
His first wife died in l872, and he married the last time about four years ago, his second wife surviving him. He had two sons, Willis and Hiram, the latter being dead, and two daughters, who remained in the East. Until the last few years of his life, he resided at Garden Grove. He has not been well since the G.A.R. Festival in June last when he became overheated, and has been confined to his bed for several months, during which time he has received the care of his comrades of Leon Post.
Together with old age and the prostration of his physical powers, stone in the bladder hastened his death. He was a man of remarkable physical powers and endurance, and had seen the rough side of life; was always jovial, kind hearted, independent, bluff and honest, and a good citizen in all relations of his life.
His remains were escorted from his residence to the depot yesterday morning by about forty of his comrades of Leon Post, and a committee of four accompanied them to Garden Grove.
