Death Summons Dan Bahan, Sr., Here Wednesday
Former City and County Official Passes Away After Long Illness-Funeral Friday Morning
Daniel Bahan, Sr., a resident of this city since 1882 and who was prominent in both city and county life for many years to follow, died at Our Saviour’s hospital Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, after a period of lingering illness. After coming to Jacksonville Mr. Bahan served as deputy sheriff under W.C. Wright for four years. In 1886 he was elected assessor and treasurer of Morgan county and served four years in this office.
Mr. Bahan was for several years a member of the city council, representing the fourth ward as alderman. Upon the death of Mayor Charles Widmayer, Mr. Bahan was chosen to serve the remainder of the term. In recent years he had retired from an active life and was living at his home, 215 West Beecher avenue.
Daniel Bahan was born in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1843. Early in life he came to Morgan county and settled at Waverly, where for fifteen years he conducted a blacksmith shop. He is survived by his wife, one son, Daniel Bahan Jr., seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
The remains were prepared for burial at the funeral parlors of John H. O’Donnell and removed to the home today.
Funeral services will be held from the Church of Our Saviour on Friday morning at 8:30 o’clock with interment in Calvary cemetery.
