Middle name given erroneously as "Kafr" by David Macdonald.

From Dr. Newton Wolverton
An intimate anecdotal biography of one of the most colorful characters in Canadian History
By A. N. WOLVERTON.

In spite of his youth he was a very expert broad-axe man,
as indeed were all of his brothers. They were accustomed to
start work in the woods before daylight, and one morning
Daniel's broad-axe struck a frosty knot, and glancing off,
split his lower leg from front to rear. He was nursed back
to convalescence in two or three months, until he was able
to get about with the aid of a cane, and with a rubber strap
from his great toe to his knee. The great wound in his leg
had apparently properly healed. However, one night his
father woke up and thought he heard it raining. But a
glance out of the window indicated clear weather, and investigation
of the "noise of dropping water" disclosed the
fact that a pool of blood had collected under Daniel's bed.
His wound had opened, the mattress had been soaked so
thoroughly, that his life-blood had dripped through. Despite
every effort, Daniel passed away.
