Newspaper Article: The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1886 - I wish to correct a mistake that has been printed in some of our local papers.  They say that Daniel Plank, who died at the residence of W.L. Plank, March 23rd, was 76 years old.  His name was Dan Lovel Plank.  Had he lived till the 10th of June he would have been 75 years old.  His funeral was held at the house where he died, W.L. Plank's, and his body was laid to rest in the Plank burying ground.  Rev. S. L. Bovier preached his funeral sermon, and the Baptist choir did the singing.
