Misc. Notes
“Daniel..., the owner and occupant of a farm in Cecil County, is numbered among the progressive agriculturists of District No 4. His estate comprises one hundred and fifty-three acres, bearing good improvements, and is devoted to the purposes of general farming. It lies on the Elkton road, five miles from the city of that name, and has been his home since 1894. He is a man of enterprise, and in his business and social relations his energetic character and judgment find ample field for exercise.
In the city of Philadelphia Daniel was born in 1852.
The education of [Daniel] was obtained in the public schools of Philadelphia. At the age of sixteen he began to learn the plumber’s trade, at which he served an apprenticeship of three years. On coming to Maryland, he worked on the home farm for two years, and then took charge of the chemical department of the plant owned by William M Singerly, remaining in that postion for seven years and then returning to the homestead in 1894.
Notwithstanding the fact that his personal interests have demanded much time and thought, he has always been a public-spirited citizen, giving his support to enterprises having for their object the welfare of the people around him. Politically he is a supporter of Republican principles, but has never sought office, preferring to devote his leisure hours to the quiet enjoyment of domestic happiness. He has been twice married, his first wife having been Miss Kate Culp, of Philadelphia, who died in 1891. The children born of this union are Samuel J, Ella May and Raymond. After the death of his first wife he was united with Miss Mary Spratt, an estimable lady residing in District No 3. The family are identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cherry Hill, to the maintenance of which Mr Arbuckle is a contributor. Besides assisting materially in the development of the agricultural resources of the district, he has exerted an influence for good as a man of sound sense, unswerving integrity and the thoughtful disposition that makes him just and considerate in his dealings with others.”
