I
have an old studio photograph of Emery Rice DANIELS which was taken at the
Swartz studio in Stuart, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
1880's with Emery likely in his 60's at the time. He is also identified as
"LaVelle's Great Grandfather". Based on limited research I was able
to gather the following information regarding Emery and his family:
?
Emery
Rice DANIELS was b. 13 Oct 1822 in Windsor, MA to parents Eliphalet DANIELS
(1797-1861) and Amanda RICE (1800-1839) who were married 15 Sept 1821 in
Conway, MA.? Emery was one of 7 children
born to this couple including Emery Rice; William Cullen; Amanda R.; Amond; Charles
Franklin; and Eliphalet DANIELS Jr., all born between 1822 and 1832.? Emery’s father was married previously and had
one additional son, Aviery DANIELS (b. 1819).
?
Emery
married twice, first to Ellen WEAR (1825-1852) on 15 Jun 1848 in Peoria, IL and
they had two children including Amanda Ellen DANIELS SHERMAN (1849-1939) and
Laura C. DANIELS MURRAY (1852-1938).? His
second marriage was to Phebe or Pheobe S. STILLMAN (1829-1913) on 3 Mar 1853 in
Peoria, IL and they had 8 children including Charles Franklin; Orlando Sherman;
Sylvester Joseph; Baby Boy; Adoniram Judson; Leroy Emery; Dexter; and Lovica “Lollie”
DANIELS, all born between 1854 and 1868.?
?
Emery
died 14 Apr 1902 in Azusa, CA and is buried in the Oakdale Memorial Park
Cemetery in Glendora, CA.

I
would like to get the photograph to a family member and appreciate you
contacting me if you are a member of this family or you know someone who might
be.
