DANIEL J. KINNE, a prosperous farmer,
residing on section 17, Loyal Township, was born in Waukesha
County, Wisconsin, February 22, 1845. His parents, Jefferson and
Jane (Hankins) Kinne, were natives of New York and Vermont
respectively they were married in the town of New Berlin, Waukesha
County, Wisconsin, and resided in Dodge and Washington counties,
and finally came to Clark County there the father passed the
remainder of his days he was a carpenter by trade, but followed
farming the latter part of his life. Politically he was a Democrat
he served through the late war as a private in the Fifth Minnesota
Volunteer Infantry, and was once wounded. His family consisted of
seven children: Almira, Daniel J., Laura, Martha, Harriet, Jasper
and Emily, all of whom are living. The mother also survives, and is
a resident of Hartford, Washington County, Wisconsin.
Daniel J. was the second child born he was reared in Waukesha and
Washington counties to farm life, and received his education in the
common schools. At the age of nineteen years, he joined the army,
enlisting in Company F, Forty-eighth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry,
and served until the declaration of peace. He was mustered out of
the service at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and received his final
discharge at Madison, Wisconsin. The following spring he came to
160 acres where he now lives. This was heavily timbered, and
neighbors were few and far between he at once erected a cabin,
eighteen by twenty-four feet, in which he lived for several years.
By careful management, pluck, energy, and perseverance, he has
cleared 100 acres, and owns 200 acres in all he has built a large
and convenient barn, a fine two-story frame residence and has
surrounded himself and family with many of the comforts and
luxuries of life. He started in life without means, but his efforts
have been crowned with success.
Mr. Kinne was united in the holy bonds of marriage, in September
1866, to Miss Martha Emerson. She was born in Washington County,
Wisconsin, in 1847, and is a daughter of Norman and Nancy (Chatman)
Emerson. No children have been born of this union, but Mr. and Mrs.
Kinne have adopted a son, Frank Single, by name.
Politically Mr. Kinne is allied with the Republican party, although
he takes no active interest in the movements of that body.
