DANIEL STEIN is the third of the eight children of Daniel and Mary M. (Holtzapple) Stein, and 
was born in Windsor Township, December 8, 1826.  After receiving an education in the public 
schools he left the homestead, engaged in farming, and in 1881 purchased two farms of 164 acres 
in all, which he now rents and lives in comfortable retirement at Spring Vale Station, in a 
fine dwelling erected in 1859, but remodeled in 1882.  In 1854 Mr. Stein married Miss Susan, 
daughter of Henry Grove, of this township.  To this union have been born six children, named 
Mary, Ellen, Susan, Daniel C., Sarah and Henry.  During the late civil war Mr. Stein was 
drafted, but, unfortunately, owing to business and family matters, was compelled to hire a 
substitute.  Mr. and Mrs. Stein are respectively members of the Lutheran and Presbyterian 
Churches of Frystown.
