Daniel Waters, area historian, dies at 94
Daniel A. 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.

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.
Besides his two sons, James S.,
and William K,., he is survived by
seven grandchildren and 11 great-
grandchildren.
