Obituary from Crescent City (OK) News, May 9, 1913:
"Daniel Jesse Hoisington, son of Jesse and Clara Hoisington, was born in Iowa July 29, 1861, and was married to Mary Hatfield Oct. 22, 1882, and died May 1, 1913, aged 51 years, 10 months and 1 day, leaving a wife and aged mother, 10 children - 5 sons (one of whom preceded him in death), and 5 daughters, 3 brothers and 1 sister, and a host of neighbors to mourn his departure. He was a good man and will be greatly missed. He
trusted in Jesus and said he was going home. Funeral services occurred Saturday afternoon from the U.B. church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Foosbee, the interment taking place from the Crescent cemetery.
In the death of Mr. Hoisington the News editor feels a great personal loss, as the deceased was a friend in need and in deed to the News and its editor. Probably no one outside the manufacturers knew more about the News' press and machinery than did 'Dan' as we familiarly called him. Also, when traveling through the country occasionally Dan would see an
opportunity of adding a new subscriber or two to the News' list and he always took advantage of every chance to aid the News whether mechanically or otherwise. Of a most cheerful disposition, generous to a fault almost, and ever ready and willing to go to the aid of the unfortunate or need to his utmost ability. He has fought the good fight and now lies down to a well earned rest. Mr. Hoisington was rather unfortunate throughout his lifetime and as far as finance was concerned was unsuccessful, but when the call of duty to humanity came, he was always on the firing line and as a friend was as true as steel. No man has lived but he has lived well so long as he has seen and done his duty toward friend and humanity as
did our friend Dan Hoisington. Trusting in God, he has gone to his long rest, but his memory will long remain green in the hearts of the humanity which has felt his generosity in life. The true devotion and friendship shown by him and the friends made through his ____ in life will remain a sweet memory to the sorrowing family and friends for many years to come and his life has not been lived in vain. Through cloud or sunshine, storm or happiness, Mr. Hoisington did his best and smiled through fortune or adversity, and true a good, big hearted man has gone to his reward."
