DANIEL BROWN. This public-spirited and enterprising farmer of Gaines Township,
Genesee County, has a fine farm located on section 7, which shows every mark of
thrift and enterprise. The buildings are first-class, and the fences and fields
are marked by order and good management. He was born in Macedon, Wayne County,
N. Y., August 4, 1829, and was there reared to the age of sixteen, when he came
to Oakland County, Mich., and lived in the township of Lyons for five years.
Subsequently he removed to Barry County, this State which was his home for two
years, and he then came to Gaines Township, this county. He has always been
engaged in farming pursuits with the exception of five years, when he lived in
Vernon, Shiawassee County, and there carried on the sale of agricultural
implements.

  In April, 1889, Mr. Brown returned to Gaines Township and resumed farming. He
has two hundred acres of excellent and well-drained land which yield him fine
crops, and the buildings to be seen on this estate have been placed here by this
gentleman.

  The marriage of Daniel Brown with Sarah E. Gage took place in Rose Township,
Oakland County, Mich., March 4, 1850. She is a native of Wayne County, N. Y.,
and is the happy mother of five children, namely: William M., Harriet E. (Mrs.
Edgar J. Post), Carrie, Minda, and Fred (who married Jessie Ackley). The office
of Justice of the Peace has been filled by Mr. Brown for twenty-three years in
this township and in Vernon Township, Shiawassee County, he was Justice for four
years. He was also Highway Commissioner for eight years and has ever taken an
active part in politics, being a stanch Republican. Religious matters have in
him an earnest helper and he and his excellent wife are active and devoted
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in which he has filled the offices of
Steward and Class-leader. He is also a member of the Grange, being deeply
interested in all movements which promise advance either socially or
industrially for the farming community.
