Lydia E. McDaniel died 16 Aug 1888

Lydia was only 12 years 10mos 16days old when she passed away on a August day in 1888.  She was the daughter of JS and Jane McDaniel, as both the Walker and Schooler records indicate. 

She is found on the 1880 Census record living  with her parents and siblings. Her father was John S. McDaniel born in 1846 and Jemina Jane Howard born 1851; She was the granddaughter of John B. Howard and Lydia Cox.  In the 1880 Census the household consist of
John  age 32                                Huckster
Jane  age 27
Forrest E.  age 10
Harry A.  age 7
Lydia E. age 4
Samuel age 1
Marion Bales   age 24   cousin  Clerk in Store
William Talbot age 27               Physician

This is the only time that Lydia is counted in a Census as she dies in 1888. 

Note about the birth year and dates for Lydia.  Mrs. Walker had the date of 31 Jul 1886 as birth and death as 16 Aug 1888. She dies at 12 years 16day.
Mrs. Schooler has her dying 16 Aug 1888  at 12 years 10 months
We have found her counted in a Census record in 1880 being born in 1876.  I have also found the Indiana death record giving the death as 16 Aug 1888.  My calculations put her birth at 31 Sep 1875.  W calculated the birth date by using both Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Schooler's dates as 12 years 10 month 16 days.  Any corrections to this date will be made as research indicates.
