Frank A. Daniels, a prominent young man of the steamship agency of A.. K. 
Miller, Meletta & Co., first saw the light of day in New Orleans in 
December, 1858, and at an early age showed unusual business ability.  He 
was educated in the public schools and when fifteen years of age branched 
out as a messenger boy for the above mentioned firm.  This was in 1873, and 
by his honesty, uprightness and excellent business acumen he grew in favor 
with members of the firm until at the present time he himself is one of its 
most active members.  This is the largest ship and steamship agency and 
brokerage firm in the South, was established in 1871, and is doing a very 
extensive business.  Mr. Daniels became a member of the city council in 
April, 1888.  He is now holding that position, from the Fifth district, and 
in February, 1891, he was appointed a member of the Orleans Board of Levee 
commissioners, which position he holds in a very satisfactory and 
creditable manner at the present time.  In politics he advocates the 
principles of the democratic party and he takes a deep interest in 
political affairs.  Although young in years, Mr. Daniels held in the 
highest estimation in the city for his many social and business 
qualities.  He is a fine specimen of physical manhood and would attract 
attention in any assembly.  Socially he is a member of the American Legion 
of Honor, Knights of Honor and is past dictator of the last named order, 
representing grand lodge in assembly of 1885.  Our subject selected his 
wife in the person of Miss Cora R. Booth, of East Baton Rouge, La., and 
they have a very pleasant home in the city.  Both hold membership in the 
Methodist Episcopal church south, and are classed among the representative 
citizens of the city.  Our subject's father was born in Paris, France, and 
mother in County Clare, Ireland.  Both are living and esteemed residents of
