Norwich Sun, April 22, 1920
South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY]: Daniel Webster, aged 80 years, died at is home in this village after being confined to the house for several months with failing health. Mr. Webster had been living alone, his wife Kate having passed away about a year ago. Mr. Webster was a veteran of the civil war and one of the rapidly thinning ranks. In these times, the passing of one who offered his services to his country in days gone by is more than incidental. It marks the union of the old patriotism and the new, the same Americanism. The honor which we so joyously shower upon our young heroes of today only causes us to appreciate more sincerely than ever the sacrifice of our boys in blue in '63. These men have a message for us today in the reconstruction work so sternly facing us. They gave themselves, hearts and all at risk of life that right might live. This spirit is the Nations' heritage as the veteran departs.Mr. Webster was born in the town of Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY] and enlisted August 11th, 1862 in Co I of the 114th N.Y. volunteers and served all through the war and was with the company when it was mustered out.
