   DANIEL FRICK, farmer, P. O. Van Buren, was born May 3, 1828, in Westmoreland
County, Penn. His parents, Daniel and Catherine (Miller) Frick, were also
natives of the same place, the former a farmer and blacksmith. Daniel Frick,
Sr., had a brother, George, who served in the war of 1812. Their father. George
Frick, a German by birth, died of scarlet-fever in New Orleans, where he, in
company with a man named Hannah, had taken a flat-boat loaded with flour. The
father of our subject was twice married. His first wife (the mother of our
subject) bore him nine children: Mary, John, George, Lucinda, Daniel, Delilah,
David, Jacob and Abraham, all of whom are still living. His second wife also
bore him nine children, of whom six are still living: Catherine, Jane, Jeremiah,
Isaiah, Luther and Joseph. David, of the first family, and Isaiah, of the second
family, served in the late war of the Rebellion. Daniel Frick, Sr., came to this
county in the spring of 1855, and died the following fall. The subject of this
sketch came to this county in 1856, and engaged in the mercantile trade. He was,
however, a miller by occupation, and, in 1861, he purchased a flouring-mill
(which is still standing in Van Buren, unused) and operated it for several
years. In 1871 he bought a farm of 160 acres of land, north of Van Buren, which
he still owns, and on which he resided until last spring, when he moved to Van
Buren, having purchased a store-building and residence .combined. Mr. Frick has
long been a member of the I. 0. 0. F., belonging at present to Haywood Lodge.

1851, with Esther Dinsmore, a daughter of John Dinsmore, a farmer of
