Friday, 26 April 1935

Albert Frederick Daniel, 59, prominent Jacksonian and a figure known all over the state and among photographers' circles throughout the South, died at his home on the Terry road here yesterday afternoon at 2:10 o'clock.

Although he had been in ill health for some 18 months, his death came quite suddenly and as a shock to the host of people who claimed him as a friend.  He had been seriously ill for about two weeks at his home.  He had fought a valiant fight for life during the long period of his illness, his life having been almost despaired of at time during the past 18 months.

Born in Beattyville, Kentucky, he attended school in the public schools of the town, later matriculating in a college at Cincinnati, Ohio.  Following his graduation from college, he returned to his home town and taught in the high school there for some time.

Thirty years ago he moved to Jackson and for two years was employed in a photographic studio, leaving that place about that time and opening a business of his own in the old Orkin building on East Capital street.  The studio was located there for many years prior to its establishment at the present site, in the Daniel building.

In the past 28 years he has made himself and his work known throughout Mississippi.  Considered outstandingly proficient in his profession, he has several times served as president of the Mississippi Photographers association.  During his illness recently he was appointed an honorary officer of the Southern Photographers association.  He has served several times as president of the Mississippi and Kentucky associations.

During the past years, he had become associated with real estate ventures here and at the time of his demise was owner of several pieces of business property and a good deal of suburban real estate.  Taking an active part in the business life of the city for many years he was a member of the Rotary Club.  He was a member of the Episcopal church.

Surviving, besides his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall Daniel, are one daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Daniel Pierce, a son, Alfred Daniel and one grandchild, Nancy Carroll Pierce, all of Jackson;  two sisters, Miss Agnes Daniel, Beattyville, Ky.;  and Mrs. J.
