November 18, 1882

Daniel Phillips Upham died at his home in Dudley, Massachusetts. Upham was an active Republican politician, businessman, plantation owner, and Arkansas State Militia commander following the Civil War. He is perhaps best remembered for his part during Reconstruction as the leader of a successful militia campaign against the Ku Klux Klan in the Militia War from 1868 to 1869. He is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock (Pulaski County).
