Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 578-579]

    J. W. DAILEY, an enterprising and progressive farmer of Sheridan
    Township, was born December 2, 1853, in Knox County, Illinois.  His
    father, WILLIAM M. DAILEY, was born in Ohio, October 24, 1818; his
    mother, EUNICE (WOODMAN) DAILEY, was born in the State of New York,
    December 9, 1824.  In 1849 they removed to Illinois, and located
    there on a farm which was their home for twenty years; they then
    removed to Missouri, where the father still lives.  The mother is
    deceased.  J. W. DAILEY lived in Knox County, Illinois, until he
    was fifteen years old, when he went to Wayne County, Iowa; there
    he remained three years, engaged in farm work, to which he had been
    trained from boyhood. In 1872 he left Iowa and went to Fort Wayne,
    Indiana, in which place he engaged in bridge building for three
    years.  Thence he returned to Iowa and stopped in Grundy County.
    In 1881 he came to Cherokee County and bought 120 acres of land in
    Sheridan Township, on which he is still living.  Mr. Dailey was
    married January 21, 1876, to Miss MARY E. KENNEDY, a daughter of
    T. D. and M. J. (ARNOLD) KENNEDY, whose biography appears in this
    history.  Mrs. DAILEY was born in Galva, Illinois, September 12,
    1855.  Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. DAILEY: CARL
    EDWARD and PHILLIP A.  Mr. DAILEY is a stanch supporter of the
    principles of the Republican party.  He served as road supervisor
    in 1883, and in 1884 he was elected township trustee, and is now
    serving a second term.  He is a member of the Farmer's Alliance,
    and takes an active interest in all local enterprises.  He is a
    man of the highest integrity of character, and is well worthy of
    the confidence reposed in him by the citizens of Cherokee County.
