   DANIEL McLAUGHLIN hotel keeper, P.O. Langhorne, is the 
owner and proprietor of the Farmers' and Drovers' inn at 
Langhorne.  He was born in New Hope, Bucks county, in 1846, 
and is a son of John McLaughlin.  His parents were of Irish 
descent, Daniel being their only child.  They died when he 
was quite young, and he was reared by Charles B. Knowles, of 
New Hope.  He attended the school there, and early in life 
was sent to serve an apprenticeship at the miller's trade.  
His next occupation was clerking in a hotel in New Hope, 
where he remained two years.  He then obtained a position as 
clerk in a hotel in Doylestown, and remained there fifteen 
years.  He subsequently came to Langhorne and purchased the 
hotel then owned by Joseph Harding, and has since devoted 
his time to his business.  He has many warm friends in 
Langhorne, and is well suited to his calling, being a 
pleasant and congenial gentleman.  His house contains 
eighteen rooms well furnished, and has good livery 
accommodation in connection. In 1874 he married Lottie, 
daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Cox) Ely, natives of Bucks 
county and of English descent.  They are the parents of 
three children:  Emma, George and William.  Mr. McLaughlin 
is a republican, and is a member of the Independent Order of 
Odd Fellows, of Doylestown.
