James J. Daly

James J. Daly was born in Camden around 1881 and spent nearly his entire life there. He was the son of James P. Daly and his wife. His father entered the bar business as early as 1906, operating Daly's Café at 800 Linden Street. He ran the establishment until his passing at the age of 49 on August 16, 1922.

Following his father's death, James J. Daly took over the business and continued to run it at least through 1947. At that time, he lived across the street from the bar at 728 Linden Street. By 1952, the bar had been renamed the Linden Grill, suggesting that he had sold it by then. Daly remained in Camden until at least 1957.

He was an active member of Camden Lodge 293, Improved Benevolent Order of Elks, and a devoted parishioner of the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Broadway and Market Streets.

In February 1958, James J. Daly passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Greenan. He was also survived by three sisters: Mrs. Catherine Gordon and Miss Sadie Daly of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Rose Steen of Washington, D.C.
