JOHN Y. DANIELS farmer and agent for agricultural 
implements, P.O. Maud, was born in Frankford, Philadelphia 
county, October 12, 1845.  His parents were George and Mary 
Ann (Yates) Daniels, natives of Pennsylvania, and of German 
and English descent.  His father is a farmer and now resides 
on the Drexel farm, in Bensalem township.  His family 
consisted of six sons and two daughters.  John Y. was the 
oldest and was reared on the farm, received his education in 
the Doylestown public schools, and has made farming his 
business.  He was married April 6, 1876, to Alice, daughter 
of Bernard Strickler.  This union has been blessed with four 
children:  Meta, Bernard, Charles, and George.  He is a 
democrat in politics, and served two years as supervisor.  
He is a member of the Knights of Pythias.  Mrs. Daniels' 
father, Bernard Strickler, deceased, was born in Bucks 
county October 1, 1804, and died in 1863.  He was the son of 
Joseph and Barbara Strickler, who were among the early 
settlers of the county.  He was reared on the farm, attended 
the old-fashioned subscription schools, and chose farming as 
his business, in which he was successful.  He was married in 
1829 to Susan, daughter of William and Mary (Sipler) 
McMullin, natives of this county, and of Scotch and German 
origin.  Their children were Alfred and Mary Ann (deceased), 
Charles, a carpenter, and Alice, wife of John Y. Daniels.
