The Boston Medical and Sugical Journal mentions him here: (visit link)
"A Living Centenarian. — Daniel O'Connell, alleged to be the oldest man in Michigan, is said to have been born in Ireland on Dec. 21, 1804. It is reported that he is in excellent health, and that at least once every week he walks from his farm to the town of Owosso and back, a distance of ten miles."

His headstone reads:
Daniel O'Connell
1804 - 1914
The oldest Elk
Made a lifetime member of
Owosso Lodge B.P.O. Elks
April 27, 1910
at the age of 105 yrs 4 mo & 6 days

The death date isn't listed, so I don't know if he was 109 or 110
