ARTHUR G. DALY
This native son of the Golden State was born in Lake County May 20, 1858, a son of Patrick M. and Mary E. (O'Hara) Daly, natives, respectively, of Ireland and of New York. The elder Daly came to California, by way of Cape Horn, in 1848, and was the first bottler of porter in San Francisco. He was long in the cattle trade and in the pork packing business in the employ of Ruth, Brum & Company, and later bred cattle in Lake County until 1906, when he died. His wife had passed away December 20, 1881. Of their children the following survive: James P., of Exeter ; Dennis B., of Yokohl valley, Tulare County; Mrs. Maggie Clancy, of San Francisco; and Arthur G., of Visalia, who is the immediate subject of this notice. The father was one of the organizers of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Lake County, and was otherwise active and influential.
It was in Lake County, Cal., that Arthur G. Daly was reared and educated, his book studies having been prosecuted in public schools near his boyhood home. In 1882 he went to Ashland, Ore., and engaged in the sheep-raising industry. He came to the Yokohl valley in 1888, and for a number of years raised cattle on a ranch of seven hundred and fifty acres. In 1904 he bought one hundred and sixty acres near Farmersville at $25 an acre and improved it and subsequently sold it at $90 an acre, a price that afforded him a fine profit. His present home farm of three hundred and twenty acres, three miles north of Visalia, he purchased December 1, 1907. Eighty acres of it is in alfalfa., and he raises many hogs, cattle and fine horses and has a dairy of thirty cows.
Mr. Daly married Mrs. (Lee) Smith, a native of California, March 27, 1890. William Lee, her father, was an overland pioneer in California in 1849, making the journey with ox-teams. He was born in Virginia and reared in Missouri, and had been a brave soldier in the Mexican war. For some years after he came to California he teamed in San Francisco, Fresno, Stockton and Sacramento. Then he came to Tulare County and got into the cattle business, in which he was active and successful around Visalia for many years. His death, April 24, 1892, was sincerely mourned by family, by friends, by all who had come within the influence of his personality. His recollections of the west went back to the real pioneer days, the days of the miners, the outlaws and the vigilantes, of Indians and of the stern white men who risked their lives to defend their women and children against savage raids. He had done his part in Indian fighting and had known many of those bold spirits who had made a profession of fighting the redskins. Of his children, the following named were living in 1912: Joseph, Charles, Mrs. Mary Dumont and Mrs. Arthur G. Daly.
With Exeter lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Mr. Daly is identified. He takes a helpful interest in all that pertains to the advancement of the people among whom he lives, is intelligently concerned in all public affairs and may be counted upon to be on the sane and patriotic side of any question of economic import.
