My best information is that Daniel is buried in a grave whose marker has deteriorated in the Lane family's cemetery in Casey County Ky.

According to the book "The Forgotten Past, Cemeteries of the Forkland Community" published in 2004, this cemetery is called the Lane Cemetery II. The description is as follows: This cemetery is located on Lane's branch on a hill on land owned by the Cannon family [in 1974]. This little valley called Lane's Branch at one time was home for 11 families and 73 people. It is now deserted with no houses, only untended land and a few barns.This cemetery is unique in that it had neat rows of pine trees that were set by Frank Lane many years ago. These trees tower many feet in the air and are more than 16 inches in diameter. Some of the trees have blown down and have covered the tombstones.
