DANIEL CHISHOLM, one of the prominent and prosperous business men of Haywards,
located there in 1879, and has been conspicuous in the establishment and
management of the electric-light system of that place, which was put into
operation in 1888. By this system a company has been incorporated, comprising
Messrs. Chisholm, Farrell and Ingram. The power is located on A street, in the
same building where are the wagon, carriage and agricultural works of Chisholm &
Farrell. This is also a general repair shop and blacksmith shop. Wheelwrighting
is also a specialty; and they also have a feed mill, where they grind different
grains and sell the product to the local trade. They employ about twelve men
throughout the year.

  Mr. Chisholm was born September 23, 1854, in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, where
he grew up and learned blacksmithing. His father, Hugh Chisholm, was by
occupation a school-teacher. His mother's name before marriage was Catherine
Monroe, and the ancestry of both parents were Scotch. Mr Chisholm, our subject,
came into the United States in 1878, locating in Plumas County, where he
remained one year; then he came to Haywards, worked for a time as a journeyman
blacksmith, and later set up a shop for himself. Finally he bought an interest
in his present business, which by shrewd judgment and progressive ideas he has
made firm and prosperous.

  He was married in Oakland, March 19, 1885, to Miss Isabella V. Foster, and
they have two children: Zelda G. and an infant daughter, Trello A. Mr. Chisholm
is politically a Republican, and socially a member of Sycamore Lodge, No. 129,
I. O. O. F., at Haywards.
