Ewell Bruce "Mack" McDaniel [C1a8c1f3a7a], son of Bessie Cherry and Samuel McDaniel, was born 23 August 1900 at Selma, Fresno Co CA, and lived most of his adult life
at Taft in Kern Co. He probably spent most of his childhood years in the Selma area, but also
in Taft and Coalinga. He married Ruby Emma "Soaf" Isburg on 15 October 1920 at Selma,
and soon after moved to Taft in Kern Co. Ruby was born at Kingsburg on 15 January 1903
(she said she was 19 when she married), daughter of Carl "Charles" Johann Isburg and Emma
Amanda Hedman who were born in Sweden, but were living at Kingsburg when Ruby married. Ewell was living at Selma when he married. A witness at Ewell’s marriage was Bertha
E Truex of Selma. Ewell had inherited 160 acres in Kern Co from his father’s homestead
claim there, so perhaps this is where Ewell and his bride settled. Also, Ewell’s uncle Bruce
McDaniel left Ewell $860 when Ewell was still a boy; that uncle must have been the person
for whom Ewell received his middle name. Ewell worked for West Kern Water District for
41 years. When their daughter was born in 1930, Ewell and Ruby lived at Tupman just a few
miles northeast of Taft, but moved into Taft in 1945. Ewell died of heart failure on 8 January
1981 at Taft where he was living for many years. He was buried in Taft's Westside
Cemetery. Ruby died at Long Beach on 9 April 1991. She had moved there after Ewell died
to be near her son. They had two children1. Eugene Lamar McDaniels, b 2 Aug 1926 at Taft, Kern Co CA. He served in the U. S.
Navy for two years during World War II in the Pacific Campaign, and was discharged

at Bakersfield on 2 August 1947. She was born at Piedmont, KN (near Eureka) on 28
July 1925, daughter of Frederick Earl Saniter and Laura Evelyn Berry. Her parents were
