General Notes: Husband - John Miller Day

---

He resided on the old family homestead, first owned by his great-grandfather. He received his primary education at the old-time subscription schools, which were held chiefly in abandoned log dwellings, one of these being very near the Day residence.

He was the owner of 350 acres of land, very rich and fertile, in a high state of cultivation, and improved with the very best buildings, all of which Mr. Day put up, except one old barn, which remained as a relic of the past. In addition to general agriculture, he was extensively interested in wool growing.
He was a lifelong member and a liberal supporter of Upper Ten-Mile Presbyterian Church, in which he was elected deacon, an office he held for many years. Politically he was a Democrat, and was several times elected to the office of justice of the peace, but always declined serving. He was elected a director of the Poor Farm, serving from 1866 to 1869.
