MARTIN DANIELS was born in Chenango Co., N. Y., in 1813.  Coming to maturity,
he did business in his native place.  He afterward removed to Richmond, Va.,
remaining in the lumber business there five years, and then went to Ottawa,
Canada, where for five years he was engaged in the lumber business at that
point. He then located in Minneapolis, Minn., stopping there one and one
half years, and in 1859, came to Eau Claire to spend the remainder of his
days.  From April 1863, until April 2, 1873, he served as Clerk of the County
and Circuit Courts.  No man in the city was more universally respected or
more tenderly beloved.  His untiring energy was united to scrupulous
honesty, and made him one of the most trusted public servants.  He died, 
rather suddenly, on the 2d of April, 1873, aged sixty years.  The Rev. J. S.
Dickson preached the sermon at the funeral, which was largely attended.
