   DANIEL SANBORN, who for many years was one of the prosperous
merchants of Exeter, N. H., but is now deceased, was born in Epping, N. H.,
January 30, 1831. His parents, Jeremiah and Mehitable (Wiggin) Sanborn,
were born natives of this state, the father being a life-long resident of
Epping, where he served for years as justice of the peace. They had a large
family of fourteen children, whose names respectively were Jacob. Harriett,
Sally, Jay, Daniel, Laura, Harrison, Jennie, Mary Augusta: Martha. Lizlie,
James, Warren and Albert. 
   Daniel Sanborn acquired his education in the district schools. While still
a boy his father died and he remained with his mother assisting her to work
the farm until he had reached early manhood. He then entered into the
butcher business, which he followed thereafter for several years in that
locality, and subsequently in Exeter, coming to this city about 1866. Later he
gave up that business and entered into the clothing business in Exeter, estab-
lishing the Daniel Sanborn Company, of which he was proprietor until
his death on April 15, 1913. In politics he was a republican and was once
representative to the legislature from this district, though not an active
politician.
Mr. Sanborn was married February 21, 1860, to Martha Hilton, a native
of New Market, N. H., and daughter of Josiah and Martha (Haley) Hilton,
