DANIEL D. SMITH, farmer, section 12, Barton Township, was born July 15, 1820, 
in Nelson, Madison Co., 

N.Y., and is the son of James and Sarah (Dike) Smith, the former a native of 
Columbia Co., N.Y., the 

latter born near Woodstock, Windham Co., Vt.  They died in Madison County.

Mr. Smith passed the years of his minority with his parents, and was married 
Dec. 30, 1845, to sylvia, 

daughter of James and Margaret (Hogoboom) Chappell, born in Eaton, Madison 
Co., N.Y., Dec. 18, 1824.  Her 

father was born in Watertown, N.Y.; her mother in Manchester, Vt.  After the 
event of his marriage Mr. 

Smith continued the occupation of farmer in his native county on the same 
place, where he operated 16 

years.  At the end of that time he sold the property and located in Kent Co., 
Mich., where he followed 

agriculture two years.  In January, 1867, he came to Newaygo County and 
purchased 120 acres of farm land 

in Barton Township, where he has toiled and cleared 69 acres.  His place is a 
credit to his exertions and 

judgment, and bids fair to hold proportionate rank with others in the county.  
One of nine children born 

to Mr. and Mrs. Smith is deceased, namely James.  The others are, Sarah A. 
(Mrs. Andrew Forsyth), Orville 

L., Ann E. (Mrs. S. B. Schermerhorn), Willis L., Flora M. (Mrs. Charles 
Bryant), Estella C. (Mrs. Perley 

Hall), Minnie O. (Mrs. George Millard, and Franz Sigel.

Mr. Smith is a Democrat in political belief, and has discharged the duties of 
the most important township 

offices.
