   JOHN B. DANIEL. A man of good education, devoting both his native powers and

his attainments to the profession of his choice, John B. Daniel, of Nashville,

Davidson county, has gained distinguished success as an attorney-at-law, and

built up an extensive and lucrative practice. A son of John N. and Martha

(Young) Daniel, he was born, September 9, 1861, in Perry county, Tennessee. His

paternal grandfather, Woodson Daniel, was a life-long resident of Tennessee, and

a representative of one of its earliest families, a family that came from North

Carolina at an early day to Tennessee, locating in Dickson county in pioneer days.



   John N. Daniel, a native of Tennessee, was prosperously engaged in

agricultural pursuits during his active career, owning and occupying a valuable

farm in Perry county. He took an active part in the Civil war, serving

faithfully and conscientiously as a soldier in the Confederate army.



   Brought up on a farm, John B. Daniel obtained his rudimentary education in

the public schools of Perry county, and being fitted for college at Cloverdale,

Dickson county. Taking up then the study of law, Mr. Daniel was graduated from

the law department of the Cumberland University, in Lebanon, Tennessee, with the

class of 1882. Immediately thereafter he began the practice of his profession in

Linden, Tennessee, meeting with encouraging success, his ability bringing him

into prominence to such an extent that during that same year, 1882, he was

elected to the state legislature. At the expiration of his term of service in

that august body, Mr. Daniel opened a law office in Nashville, and during the

years that have since elapsed has risen to a high rank among the leading lawyers

of both city and county. In politics Mr. Daniel is a straightforward Democrat,

and religiously he is a trustworthy member of the Christian church.



   Mr. Daniel married, in January, 1884, Miss Theresa Pendleton.
