Daniel Hogmire died at his home in Arlington on the evening of February 25, 1884, aged nearly seventy-two years. Mr. Hogmire was one of the very frst settlers of Arlington township, having moved to this county in 1835. He first located and for a number of years lived on the farm now owned by B. B. Stimpson, opposite M. H. Hogmire's but subsequently disposing of this place, he moved to his late homestead, where he has resided for thirty-three years. During this time he had built for himself a beautiful home, surrounded by the comforts of life, the reward of long years of industry and cconomny. He was never known as a practical, successful farmer, and although his home and farm bore marks of substantial and permanent improvements, his taste was more of mechanism, in his younger days being classed as one of the best mechanics (carpenters and joiners) in the country, many monuments of his skill and handicraft still remaining as evidence of his workmanship. His family consisted of a wife, three sons and a daughter, all of whom survived him and now mourn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father. The funeral services were conducted from the family residence, Elder J. H. Reese officiating, after which the remains were placed in the Arlington cemetery.

Milan Endelman Hogmire (1848-1928)

Son of Daniel
Obituary from the Bangor Advance 5/3/1928:
In the passing of Milan Hogmire, Bangor loses one of it's pioneers. His parents were among the earliest settlers coming from New York when the country was a wilderness, abounding in deer and other wild animals.
Milan E. Hogmire was born in Arlington township, Dec. 17th, 1848, and died April 27, 1928. He was the fourth of six children born to Daniel and Henrietta Waugh Hogmire. He grew up on the farm he owned at the time of his death. After attending school in Lawrence and Decatur he began teaching. He taught winters and worked on the farm summers. In March of 1879 he married Alice Timms of Hillsdale, Michigan.
For thirty years he was a traveling salesman in Wisconsin being familiar with every town in the state retiring in 1917. Since then he turned his attention to his farm, putting in modern improvements, in which he took great pride. He was a man of strong convictions, honest and upright, interested to the last in the affairs of the day. He was very fond of children and in turn was loved by them. He was a kind and indulgent father, a very thoughtful and loving husband.
He was a member of Coffinbury Lodge, No. 204 and the DeWitt Clinton Consistory. He joined the Bangor Lodge in February, 1874.
