On November 21, 1913 the first son was born to John and Lilie Daulton.  
He was given the name Lee.  He was a kind, gentle child and brought joy 
every day to his parents.

At the age of six he began his school work at Buchanan school and later 
finished the eighth grade at Hazel Green Academy.  He was a good 
student, always beloved by his teacher and school mates.

At the age of twenty-one he was married to Pruda Campbell, youngest 
daughter of the late Caleb and Rosemary Campbell.  To this union were born 
six children: John Caleb, (deceased) Virginia, Lilly Rose, Charles, 
Kenneth and Linda Lee, who was born after her father was brought from the 
funeral home.

Lee died the 18th of January, 1948 at St. Joseph's Hospital in 
Lexington.

Besides his wife and children he leaves his parents, Rev. and Mrs. John 
Daulton, two brothers, Charlie and Ralph of Baptist, and three sisters, 
Mrs. Ova Tyra, Baptist, Mrs. Troy Moore, Clay City; Mrs. Thomas Walters 
of Lexington and many other relatives and friends.

Lee was always a thoughtful, kindhearted, conscientious boy and will be 
greatly missed in the community by old and young alike.
