During the Civil War, Daniel Paul served as a Private in the 130th Pennsylvania Infantry, Company H. After the Civil War, he moved to Michigan, but kept in touch with his Lykens Valley friends and relatives via correspondence to the editor of the Lykens newspaper.
One result of that correspondence from the year 1899 is reported below:

Died in the West
Miss Emma R. Paul, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Paul, formerly of Jackson Township, this county, but now residing near Constantine, Michigan, died at the home of her parents near that village, 21 November 1899, of tuberculosis. A Constantine paper has the following account:
“Deceased was born in Jackson Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 22 February 1866, and in May 1867, her parents removed to this village. Excepting the period from 1 July 1896 to 1 January 1898, half of which was spent at a sanitarium for consumptives in the Adirondack Mountains, New York, she was the trusted and efficient stenographer for Henderson-Ames Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan, from the fall of 1891 to 1 February 1899, and her employers and associates unite in testifying to her excellent traits of character and perseverance beyond her strength. She united with Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church of this village, 22 February 1885, and during her hours of suffering gave expression to her faith and resignation. Besides the parents, one sister and two brothers are bereft. Funeral was held last Thursday afternoon from the Lutheran Church, Rev. B. F. Grenoble officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery.”
