In 1869 her father died. The 1871 Pierce County Census lists her widowed mother Nancy Meeker, age 47, Linas Burr, age 22, Samuel Burr, age 20, Sarah Burr, age 16, Malinda Meeker, age 8 and Aaron Meeker, age 6 all living on the Sumner farm. In the winter of 1874-75 Malinda and Aaron attended a private school taught by Mr. and Mrs. Coon. The 1878 Pierce County Census listed her at age 15 as Lynda Meeker. In 1880 she was still listed as living on the Sumner farm. On February 4, 1889 at age 25 Malinda married William Edward Daniell, who was involved in road construction in Tacoma. The ceremony took place in Sumner. The couple had four children: Olive Maude b. May 28, 1890 In 1910, age 30 living with Eben and Caddie Osborne. Beulah Meeker b. June 7, 1891 In January 1912 she and her sister Olive were living with the Osbornes in Seattle Wallace Walton b. November 28, 1892 Dorothy Grace b. August 20, 1902 In 1901 the family moved to Alma, Okanogan County, WA. On January 5, 1909 Ezra wrote the Daniells asking for information about Okanogan apples for a newspaper article he was writing and greeted them as follows, "Well, how are you? How are the young uns and last but not least, Linda: we are all well here as the saying goes but now and then some of us has the "grunts." He then invited the Daniell daughters to come to Seattle and work in his exhibit at the Alaska Pacific Yukon Exhibition that summer. He received this reply. Okanogan March 11, 1909 Dear Brother I should have answered your letter of Feb. 11 before, but have waited a little so that we could be sure that the girls could go as we did not want to promise and then perhaps disappoint you. They are making their plans now and getting ready to go. We would like to know about the time you want them to be on hand. We would like them to go with Aaron's family. You asked me if one of the girls could take charge of the butter. Olive is a good butter maker but I don't know whether she could take full charge or not but I know she would be good help in that work. The girls will go to the Sound before they are needed as they want to visit up the valley, so I think you can find their place in the work when you see them. With love Sister Linda Seattle May 4th, 1909 Dear Linda Your letter received. I will find something for Olive to do even if she can't go into the harder work. I had expected to let her work with Bertha [Templeton] on pastry and salt rising bread. We are going to be a busy set here along about opening day when we expect to feed 2500 people or more. I will open the restaurant in a small way on the 15th if the girls come by the 28th it will be early enough unless they want to visit some before going to work. Aaron [Meeker] is here working like a Turk. Clara [Meeker] is keeping house and I understand Fanny [Aaron's wife] will come in a week. Ezra On November 14, 1916 Caddie wrote, "Friday evening Linda, Beulah and Dorothy came in on us unexpectedly. We had a slim dinner for four and then when four more came (Elmer [Brown] happened in too) we had to stretch it out and there was nothing left. Linda is very well and happy and interested in her home [On Camano Island, WA]. They are going to raise sheep and not do anything else. He [William Daniell] has cedar enough to sell bolts for several years. They can manage to make ends meet by the sale of cedar but not big money as it costs high to get it out. They have 100 sheep. Beulah is teaching 4 miles from here and has been going home every Friday. She gets good pay. Olive is the flower of that family though all right." By 1930 the Daniells were at Lake Forest Park. Malinda Meeker Daniell, the last survivor of the pioneer family of Jacob Meeker, died December 22, 1942 in the Seattle home of her daughter, Mrs. (Dorothy) Gerald W. Relf. Her husband William died four months previously. ∼Daughter of Jacob Redding and Nancy (North) Meeker; Wife of William Edward Daniell. Burial: Sumner, Pierce, WA
