WILLIAM DANIELS

had to add several years to his age in order to be the required 
age of eighteen.  He was a fat, jolly, fellow liked by everybody, 
and went by the name of "Dilly Daniels."  He was working in a 
bakery when he enlisted, and like most growing boys had a 
wonderful appetite which had made a market for many of the good 
things in the bakery, and a change to hard tack and pork told on 
him, but he never grumbled or found fault, but always seemed 
perfectly satisfied.  He was a faithful and brave soldier; after 
the war he engaged in the meat and provision business in St. 
Johnsbury, and was a good citizen and a successful business man.  
He died about ten years ago.
