Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Burrell V. Daniels, farmer, section 5, Union Grove Township, has been a 
resident of Whiteside County since 1849. He was born in Canada, Feb. 14, 1833. 
His father and mother, Asa and Ahnira (Vance) Daniels, were natives of 
Vermont. They were residents of Canada after they were married, and returned 
to Vermont, whence the father came, in 1846, to the township of Ustick and 
located on section 32. In 1850 his family joined him. The senior Daniels met 
his death April 15, 1874, by a fall from a load of hay. The mother is living 
in Ustick Township. Their family included seven children,—David, Warner, Amos 
and Asahel (twins), Sylvia, Burrell V. and Martha. Mr. Daniels came to 
Whiteside County in June, 1849, and has since been engaged in farming. He is 
now the owner of 310 acres of land in the township of Union Grove and has 
placed 250 acres under tillage. His stock includes 18 horses, 20 head of 
cattle and he fattens an average of 40 hogs annually. He is identified with 
the Republican party in political sentiment and action. The marriage of Mr. 
Daniels to Mary E. Cass took place Feb. 14, 1855, in Ustick Township, and they 
have had three sons,—Wallace M., Wyman F. and Adelbert W. The second child 
died when one year and eight months old. Mrs. Daniels is the daughter of 
Jehiel and Sally (Scott) Cass. Her parents were natives of Vermont and had 
nine children,—Cynthia, Rosina, Maria, Mary E., Sarah, George, Alonzo, Emily 
and Estella. Mrs. Daniels was born June 4, 1836, in Canada; at the age of 3 
years, her parents moved to Irasburg, Orleans Co., Vt., where they lived until 
they came to Whiteside County in 1854. Her mother died July 26, 1869, in Union 
Grove Township. Her father is a farmer in Dakota, where he went in the fall of 
1883. He is in his 79th year. Mr. Daniels, and also his children, are zealous 
and able Republicans, advocates of temperance and opponents of secret 
societies.
