bullet  Death Notes:


Daniel ingested "Paris Green" a toxic rodenticide. His funeral arrangements were completed by "H. H. Methven" whom I assume would be his older brother, Harry H. Methven. The total bill from the funeral home was $118.50 which included only the coffin with no embalming. His body was shipped to Antioch where he was buried probably in a private ceremony. The funeral home received $67.21 from wages from the "S. P. Co" and apparently the balance was never paid.
