Son of Barbara Hostetler (Hochstetler) and Christian Leatherman. Husband of Elizabeth Lewis m. 1 Apr 1851 Orange Co, IN.

LEATHERMAN, Daniel, Orleans Progress (June 1, 1899) Daniel Leatherman died Wednesday afternoon, May 31, 1899, at four o'clock, of congestion of the lungs and heart disease. He had been sick from the attack which caused his death, three weeks and two days, bit for several years past he had been a sufferer from heart disease and rheumatism, but was always able to sit up and walk around the house. In fact, never since he was married, forty-eight years ago, has he been so sick but that he could get out of his bed unassisted, until his last illness. He was born March 31, 1819, and was, therefore, eighty years and two months old. He was the father of ten children, five girls and five boys, six of whom, three boys and three girls, survive him, also a loving wife. Uncle Daniel, as he was known to all, was a good man, a kind husband and father. He will be missed in the family circle and among his friends in general, and to the family and all bereaved ones, the PROGRESS extends its profound sympathy. The funeral services will be held at Liberty church tomorrow (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock, and the remains laid away in their final resting place in the beautiful Liberty cemetery thereafter. Peace to his ashes. Submitted by Tom Agan. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/in/county/orange/obits17.htm
