D. M. VALENTINE, LL. D. 



JUDGE DANIEL M. VALENTINE died at his home in To- 

 ^ peka August 5, 1907. He was seventy-seven years old, 

 and death ensued from a general breakdown, incident to age. 

 He was for nearly twentj^-five years a justice of the supreme 

 court, and was admitted to our Academy in 1878. 



As one of the pioneers in Kansas he had much to do with 

 its early history, and as a justice of the supreme court was 

 one of the guiding spirits in the construction and interpreta- 

 tion of the state constitution. His reputation as a jurist of 

 ability and integrity is attested by his long term of service. 

 His interest in scientific pursuits was shown by his support 

 of the Academy and he was elected a life-member in 1904. 

 He is survived by his widow and nine children, five sons and 

 four daughters, all of whom worthily represent one of our 

 earliest and most useful citizens.
