GEORGE DANIELS farmer and stock-grower, P.O. Eddington, was 
born in Philadelphia July 29, 1820.  His parents, Henry and 
Rachel Daniels, were natives of Pennsylvania and of German 
origin. The father was a carpenter during his life and had a 
family of four children, George being the oldest and the 
only one now living.  He was put out when he was 11 years 
old, went to New Jersey, and came to Bensalem when he was 16 
years old.  He attended common school in Philadelphia, chose 
farming as his occupation, and has made it his business for 
26 years; he lived on the Beakley farm for nine years, and 
on the farm of Dr. Schenck 11 years.  At present he is on 
the farm owned by the Misses Drexel, who are building the 
large Catholic orphan school at Andalusia.  He was married 
in Philadelphia in 1844 to Mary Ann, daughter of John Yates. 
 She is of German origin.  To this union eight children have 
been born, seven of whom are now living:  John Y., William 
S., George, Harry, Sarah, May, Theodore A., and Linford 
(deceased).  He is a democrat in politics, and has been 
school director for 11 years. He is a member of the Knights 
of Pythias, Odd-Fellows and Red Men.  Mrs. Daniels is a 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
