Leonard E. Danuser, well-known merchant of Arcadia, was born in Sauk
County, Wisconsin, April 18, 1849, son of Florian and Celia (Buehler)
Danuser, the pioneers.  Florian Danuser was born in Canton Grisons,
Switzerland, came to America in 1848, lived for some years in Sauk
County, Wisconsin, and in 1855 came with other members of the family
to Buffalo County, where they settled in the ravine that has since
been known as the Danuser Valley.  Leonard E. Danuser was reared to
farm pursuits, and early turned his attention to merchandising.  In
1877 he engaged in the hardware business in Independence, and thus
continued until he came to Arcadia and purchased the business of Emil
Maurer.  The store is conducted under the name of L. E. Danuser &
Son, and the son Ralph W. is the active manager.  The company
occupies a sightly brick building on Main street, compounds
prescriptions, conducts a soda water fountain and deals in drugs,
cigars, stationery, toilet articles, rubber goods, china, cut glass,
jewelry and silverware.  Mr. Danuser was married Dec. 6, 1877, to
Hannah E. Lehman of Naperville, Ill., daughter of henry M. and Sarah
(Huber) Lehman.  Mr. and Mrs. Danuser have four children:  Ralph W.,
his father's partner; Sadie, wife of O. B. Strouse, cashier of the
State Bank of Arcadia, and Lulu, who died at the age of seven years;
Lillian, who is at present clerking in the store.
