DANIEL HORTON, book-keeper and clerk in the mercantile house of T. C. Gardener 
at Remus, was born in Tioga 

Co., Penn., July 5, 1850, and is a son of Seneca and Catherine (Buckbee) 
Horton, the father a native of 

Ohio, and the mother of New York.  The family came to Michigan in 1864 and 
settled in Wheatland Tp.  Mr. 

Horton passed the first 20 years of his life the method of farmers' sons 
generally, and was married Feb. 

4, 1870, to Mary, daughter of Ezra and Jane (Brown) Mansfield, who was born 
Feb. 18, 1854, in Genesee Co., 

N.Y., of which State her parents were natives. She accompanied them to 
Michigan when quite young.  Mr. and 

Mrs. Horton settled on a farm of 40 acres on sec. 25, Wheatland Tp.  On this 
Mr. Horton labored until he 

had put 20 acres in a fit condition for cultivation.  He operated as an 
agriculturalist some years, 

eventually leaving his farm to engage in the general store of his brother at 
Millbrook, where he remained 

until February, 1881, the date of his entering upon his present duties in the 
establishment of Mr. 

Gardener.  He has the entire management of the business at Remus, and enjoys 
the unrestricted confidence 

of his principal, who is a non-resident, he having during the current year 
(1883) fixed his dwelling place 

at Big Rapids.  Mr. Horton is a Republican in politics, and has been for some 
time Township Clerk.

Mr. and Mrs. Horton have had four children, viz: Orville E., born June 15, 
1871; Fred E., Sept. 21, 1874; 

Effie J., Oct. 1, 1876 (died Nov. 4, 1887); Carrie M., Oct. 15, 1882.
