DANIELS, proprietor of a flour mill, dealer in flour, grain and feed, and treasurer and stockholder of the Epping Handle Page 834 Company, has been a resident of Epping, New Hampshire, little more than three years, but in that time has become firmly established in its citizenship. A man of keen business acumen and stirring activity, in Common parlance "a hustler," he has made an impress upon the affairs of the community and gained the good will of his fellow men. Mr. Daniels was born at Barrington, New Hampshire, July 26, 1878, and is a son of John C. and Cora A. (Allen) Daniels, both natives of New Hampshire. They became parents of three children. John C. Daniels is well known over Stafford county, where he always resided and was honored by election as state representative. He also served the county as treasurer. Albert E. Daniels was the second child born to his parents, and when six years old began his attendance at school, walking a mile and a half from his home. He continued in the local school during the winter terms, at the same time helping in the work on the farm, until he was sixteen, at which time he was forced to give up school and de- vote his energies entirely to farm work. When he was nineteen, his father determined the time was ripe to start his son in business, and as a result they established a flour, grain and feed business in Rochester, N. H., as partners. This partnership continued successfully until 1910. In March, 1911, Albert E. Daniels moved to Epping and purchased the mill, flour and feed business of John Liddy & Company, which he has since conducted on a more extensive scale than before. He is inter- ested in the Epping Handle Factory, which manufactures handles of every description and picker sticks, the products being sold in every part of the United States. Mr. Daniels is active in its affairs and serves the company as treasurer. May 16, 1903, Mr. Daniels was united in marriage with Miss Mabel Hislop, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hislop, of Rochester, N. H., and they have had four children: Lucile E., born June 11, 1904; Martelle, who died in infancy; Marjorie, born October 7, 1907; and Sybil, born September 8, 1912. Mr. Daniels has been too busy to seek political preferment himself, but has always been active in securing the election of good men, regardless of their political affiliation. Fraternally he is a Mason and an Odd Fellow.
