DANIEL HOWARD
DANIEL HOWARD, farmer of Elliott Township, San
Joaquin County, was born in Walpole, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, May 28, 1823, son of Daniel and Rebecca Howard. He
was reared in Walpole to the age of twenty years, then went to Lynn,
Massachusetts, where he learned the shoemaker’s trade, and followed it for
seven or eight years. Then determined to come to California; accordingly took passage upon the ship Dubois, and reached San Francisco after a voyage of 194 days. He remained in that city
but four weeks, then went to the mines. Soon after bought his farm of 300 acres
of fine land, situated on the Mokelumne river and about two miles from
Clements. There he has remained ever since, devoting his time to farming and
improving his land.
He was married in San Joaquin County,
December 6, 1868, to Miss Clara Flanders, a native of Wisconsin, who came to
California when four years of age. They have two children, namely: Frankie L.
and Jennie V.
