DALEY- Mr. Edwin Daley, age 97, late of Shellbrook, passed away in the Shellbrook hospital on Friday, April 11, 2008. Edwin was born October 30, 1910 in the Ordale district, and was baptized and confirmed in the Concordia Lutheran Church. Edwin worked at different jobs when he was young. When both parents had passed away, Edwin and his two sisters took over the farm, where they raised cattle, pigs and milked cows. The Daley's were a musical family, and had a band of their own. Edwin played violin, his brother George played accordion, and his sisters played guitar and mandolin. They spent many evenings at home playing and singing, as well as at parties and dances. Edwin enjoyed going to farm auctions and rodeo's, and liked watching hockey on TV. Edwin and his sister Tilda moved to Homestead Place in 1998. Edwin was a quiet and private person. He didn't do much visiting but really enjoyed people coming to visit him.
