Waters, 94, of Cash- man Road, Gettysburg, died July 23, 1989 in the Village Green Nursing Home, Gettysburg. Mr. Waters was a well-known and respected resident of Dallas, known to many as a dedicated historian and geneologist. He was the author of numerous historical works including the history of the Dallas United Methodist Church, one entitled Yankees in Northeast- ern Pennsylvania in conjunction with the Bicentennial of Wyoming Valley, and most recently in 1967 he wrote the History of Dallas which was published and is the most complete history of Dallas and its surrounding area. Waters was alsoadedicated and thorough geneologist and traced his family geneology back to the 700's A.D. through Charlemagne’s time and had it all authenticated. Before leaving his home on Huntsville Road, Dallas to move to Gettysburg with his wife Blanche K., in 1977, Daniel Waters con- tributed a great deal to the Back Mountain communities. The father of two boys, James S. , Gettysburg; and William K., Ford City, he had a deep interest in scouting and organized and was the first scoutmaster of Dallas Boy Scout Troop 281, which still meets in the Dallas United Methodist Church. He was a charter member of the Daddow-Isaacs American Legion and served in World War I as a Sergeant in the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army and spent 13 months in France. Mr. Waters was a writer for the Sunday Independent in the 1920's and contributed news items and features of the Back Mountain on a regular basis. In later life he wrote for The Dallas Post under the byline ‘Ramblin’ Around’ and was re- sponsible for a vast number of historical materials that can be found nowhere else. His contribu- tions to The Dallas Post have made the earlier volumes valuable refer- ence books. He was a man who had a keen interest in his community and never hesitated to do his fair share and more. Daniel Waters was a former trustee of the Dallas Methodist Church, superintendent of the Church School and also sang in the church choir. Anything he did, he did well. He served on the Dal- las Borough Council and also served on the Dallas Borough School Board of Directors. Waters was also the last surviv- ing charter member of the Dallas Kiwanis. His interest in history and geneology became whetted when he became a member of the Wyo- ming Valley Historical and Geo- logical Society in Wilkes-Barre. When he was discharged from the Army, he was employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Wilkes- Barre, from where he retired as yardmaster in 1964.

Eck. “Directory of Pennsylvania Foundations” His family, his work, his writing and his studying were his loves. His books on geneology were too numerous to keep on one or two shelves. His historical materials were the most complete one might ever see. His move to Gettysburg in 1977 to live on property owned by his son was a great loss to the Back Mountain. The residents no longer had their historian and their friend. Just as he did everything, Daniel Waters moved quietly from one area to another, reminiscing over what he had left and enjoying what he had gained. He enjoyed the years he and his wife had with their son on Cashman Road, Get- tysburg. + 2He missed Blanche whe she died in November, 1988, but he knew that he would be with her again one day. ‘Daniel Waters, son of the late James L. and Nancy Winters Wa- ters, was born in North Abington Township, Lackawanna County.
