Slauson - 

Daniel C. Slauson, a respected citizen of Glasgow Township, who is at 
present operating the Thomas Huddleston farm, besides occasionally active 
in other industrial pursuits, was born at Nappanee, Ind., November 25, 
1890, son of Albert and Elizabeth Hughes Slauson. On his father's side 
he is Pennsylvania Dutch, his mother's family being Irish. In his boyhood 
he attended the common school at Nappanee, and at the age of 14 had to go 
out into the world for himself. In the summer of 1908 he came to Dumfries, 
Wabasha County, Minn., being then a young man of 18, and soon after his 
arrival here he took a business course at the Southern Minnesota Normal 
College at Austin, Minn. On entering the ranks of industry he learned the 
carpenter's and cement worker's trades, and having also picked up 
knowledge of farming, he worked more or less at all three occupations. 
As a farm hand he worked six years in Glasgow Township, and is now 
operating the farm of 120 acres belonging to his father-in-law, Thomas 
Huddleston. Mr. Slauson was married October 14, 1914, to Edna L., 
daughter of Thomas and Sarah McIllreavie Huddleston. Her father, who 
is still living in Dumfries, is an old pioneer of Wabasha County, and 
a veteran of the Civil War, of whom a sketch appears elsewhere in this 
volume. Mr. and Mrs. Slauson have one child, Wilbur Thomas, who was born 
August 14, 1915. Mrs. Huddleston, Sr., being now deceased, Mrs. Slauson 
presides as housekeeper for her father and her own family. Mr. Slauson 
is a member of the Masonic order, belonging to the Wapahasa Lodge, No. 
14, at Wabasha. He attends the Presbyterian church, of which his wife is 
a member, and politically is a Republican. Enterprising and industrious, 
he has made financial progress and is esteemed by his fellow citizens, 
his wife also being socially popular.
