Dale, Daniel, eldest son of John Dale, was born in Center township, Perry
county, Pennsylvania, January 28, 1830. His early life was passed on the
farm, and at nineteen he began work at the carpenter's trade. He
subsequently took up cabinetwork, which he worked at more or less till
1859. In 1856 he took up his residence in Zumbro, making claim to
one-fourth of section 19. He still retains one half of this claim, on
which he lives. His estate includes one hundred and fifty acres, of which
twenty are timbered. He has a fine farm and has handsomely improved it. He
was married October 18, 1859, to Elizabeth Peterman, a native of
Pennsylvania; her parents were Jacob and Annie (Myers) Peterman, of French
and German extraction. Mr. and Mrs. Dale are members of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The former has always cast his vote with the republican
party. Their first child was christened Ida, and died when four months
old. Jenny M., born March 23, 1863, married D. W. Coleman, and dwells at
Emma, Dakota. Helen E., October 1, 1866, resides with parents.
