Daniel .1/. Shofner.	09
for the Edgefield and Nashville Manufacturing Company.
In polities Daniel 11. (Dock) Shofner was a Whig before the war; and after that party went out, he cast his lot with the Republican party.
In religious belief he belonged to the church of his forefathers, the Lutheran, and was a member of the church council at .Jenkins? Chapel for many years. He loved and was loved in return by the Lutheran pastor, Rev. .John Boone, who spent many hours with him during his last illness, and conducted the funeral services. Daniel M. Shofner died on .June 2!?, IS,SO, at peace with (!o<l and man, and was buried by the side of his departed sou and daughter in the family cemetery at Jenkins? Chapel, given by his father many years before.
He lived as nearly up to the teachings of the Golden Rule as any one could. His name and his honor were above reproach. He had a love for learning above the average man, yet was always modest and unassuming. He was a man of high integrity, of refinement, and of culture, and was always ready to forgive a wrong or render a kindness to his fellow-man. He loved his home and his family, and was always patient, kind, and considerate. Truly,-he was a Christian in the fullest sense of its meaning; and to-day he is surely waiting on the distant shore to give a glad hand of welcome, when the time comes, to those of his family left behind.
In about a year and a half after his death his family moved to Nashville, and then* his wife and most of the children are now residing.
