      DAY, Truman Skinner, now deceased, was a well known man in Hancock County during his lifetime, and his widow has been an honored resident of Elveston for some years. He was born in Fleming County Kentucky, August 20, 1816 (date is incorrect as per census records. Should be 1844), a son of Alvin and Priscilla (Foster) Day, natives of Kentucky. He died in Kentucky, after which his widow went to Illinois and lived there for some years, but then returned to Kentucky, where she died.

      Truman Skinner Day was reared in Kentucky, and during the Civil War enlisted in the 10th Kentucky cavalry, and after a service of a year, was honorably discharged. He was married December 21, 1865, to Lou Gray, born in Fleming County Kentucky, a daughter of David and Mary Ann (Gardner) Gray of Kentucky. After his marriage, Mr. Day resided in Kentucky until in August 1888, being engaged in clerking in a general store. At that time he went to Keokuk, Iowa and was connected with mercantile interests there and on the road. On June 9th, 1901, he was drowned in the Mississippi River at Montrose, Iowa. In 1909, Mrs. Day came to Elveston, where she has since resided.
