The daughter of Jerome and Mary (Chapman) Dinwiddie, Daisy was born July 28, 1878 in Eagle Creek Township on her father's farm near the Dinwiddie station. Once an important grain shipping center, the large Dinwiddie elevator was served by the Gifford railroad. Both have been erased from the scene.
Daisy was graduated from Lowell High School and attended Purdue University. She was a talented musician.
She was married to William Hack, who with her father, worked as a drainage contractor in southern Lake County. The couple moved to Gary in 1918 and Mr. Hack was employed in the steel mills. He passed away in 1941.
Survivors include an only son, John William Hack of Gary, and two granddaughters, the Misses Catherine and Carol Hack; besides many other relatives in this area and a host of friends here and in Gary.
A member of the First Evangelical and Reformed Church of Gary, her pastor, the Rev. J.M. Johnson will officiate at memorial services, which will be conducted in the Sheets Funeral Home at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 12. Burial will be made in the Plum Grove cemetery in Eagle Creek Township.
