General Notes: Husband - Francis McDaniel

---

He grew up on a farm, and became familiar with agricultural work in boyhood, meanwhile acquiring a common school education such as the home locality afforded. In 1854 he engaged in lumbering, and later became interested in the manufacture of sash and blinds, in connection with which he also operated a flouring mill. In 1865 he moved to Ohio, where he was occupied with such interests at Jefferson, Ashtabula County, and also embarked in merchandising at Dorset, that county. Having married a daughter of John McKenzie, of Sugar Creek Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, he moved to the township in 1882 and bought the McKenzie mill (built in 1846), conducting same along with his farming operations, and becoming one of the thrifty, substantial residents of the locality. He had advanced ideas on public questions and took a keen interest in local matters, being particularly zealous in securing good educational advantages for his own district, where his cooperation and activity were much appreciated. He gave efficient service as a member of the school board and collector of school taxes. When he settled in the neighborhood there was only one way to get in and out, to come from the Sugar creek bridge below to McKenzie's Corners and go down to mill, then from the Jackson Township bridge above to McKenzie's Corners and down to mill, the bridges about two miles apart. He applied for a road and secured it after a hard fight, this road being built about twenty-five years before a later brick road. In political issues he supported the Democratic Party. [CAB, 716]
