DANIEL MOON farmer, P.O. Morrisville, was born in 
Morrisville, July 12, 1850, and is a son of Evan L. and Mary 
(Atchley) Moon, the latter a native of Mercer county, N. J.  
His father was born in Bucks county, and was a descendant of 
an old Quaker family of English origin.  The family have 
been farmers in Falls township for many years.  Our 
subject's father has carried on that business with success, 
being at present the owner of a well-improved farm.  He had 
three children who lived to maturity, Daniel being the 
youngest.  He was reared in Bucks county, attending the 
school at Morrisville, and the Model school at Trenton.  He 
also took a commercial course at Bryant & Stratton's 
Commercial college at Trenton, N. J., but has made farming 
his main business.  He was married in Trenton, October 25, 
1871, to Mary W., daughter of Henry and Rachel (Wolverton) 
Fell.  This lady's father was born in Bucks county, where he 
was a merchant, and of English origin, her mother being born 
in Hunterdon county, N. J.  Mr. and Mrs. Moon are the 
parents of four children:  Arthur E., Bessie F., Rachel W. 
and Ridgeway F. Mr. Moon is a republican politically, and 
has been a member of the school board.  His wife is a member 
of the Society of Friends.
