• Notes

  from newspaper obituary (findagrave.com), Feb 1914 DEATH OF LUCIUS B. DAY Member of an Old Peoria County Family Passes Away at Brimfield From the effects of a stroke of paralysis, which came on Tuesday, Lucius B. Day, a representative of one of the oldest of Peoria county families, passed away yesterday afternoon at his home in Brimfield. At the time of his death Mr. Day was 66 years of age and was the son of John B. Day, who for a number of years was a member of the dry goods fIrm of Day Bros., who were among the first to engage in the retail and wholesale dry goods business in this city. The tastes of Lucius B. Day were agricultural rather than commercial, and he lived for the greater part of his life on the old homestead on which he was born and tilled an extensive farm. He was a republican in politics and for several years represented Jubilee township on the county board of supervisors and part of the time was chairman of the poor farm committee. While an intelligent and educated man, he was quiet and unobtrusive, and along the cool sequestered shades of life he went the even tenor of his way, winning the respect of all who knew him. He is survived by two sons?Fred Day, who is employed in the Chicago post office; Archibald Day, living in Brimfield and Mrs. Minnie Hull, widow of Paul Hull, who was once renowned as a newspaper man and humorist. He also leaves one brother, Frank Day of Los Angeles, Cal., and two sisters, Mrs. W. L. Wiley of Chicago and Mrs. Howard B. Beecher, wife of the principal of the Douglas school of this city. Arrangements for the funeral are pending advices from Frank Day, the brother living in California, and will be announced later. from "The Brimfield News" 28 Sep 1899 (Digital Archive of Brimfield Public Library) Guardian's Sale: By virtue of a decretal order of the Probate Court of said County, entered at the September Term of Said Court, A.D. 1899, on the application of Lucius B. Day, Guardian of Fred J. Day and Archibald Day, Minors, to sell the following described real estate...
