>From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and 
Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing 
Company, 1888.

**********************************************************************

Charles L. Daniels, a dealer in general merchandise and mineral, of
Mineral Point, was born August 23, 1852 in Waukesha, Wis., and is the
eldest of the three children in the family of his parents Almon J. and
Minerva (Burgess) Daniels, natives, respectively, of Connecticut and
New York.  From Wisconsin the family removed to Edgar County, Ill., 
and while living there, upon the outbreak of the late war, the father
enlisted in the Seventy-ninth Illinois Infantry, serving until the
close of the war.  Charles L. was reared on a farm, and by economy and
industry saved money with which he obtained his education.  He located
in Washington County, Mo., in 1874, and for three years was engaged in
selling goods throughout the country as a peddler, and as a result of
his honor and fair dealing was fairly successful.  In 1886 he entered
into business with J. B. Mesplay, which firm has since been doing a 
good trade, and it is not saying too much when it is stated that no
merchant in the county enjoys more fully the confidence of those with
whom he has business relations.  May 15, 1887, Mr. Daniels was married
to Miss Mary A. White, a daughter of William White, both natives of
Washington County.
