JOSEPH T. DANIELS, one of the firm of Daniels & Hutchinson. Their saw-mill was erected about 1851, but has been rebuilt since. The capacity is 45,000 in eleven hours, and about 30,000 shingles. They manufacture about 6,000,000 annually, and employ twenty men. Mr. Daniels first located in Neenah, Wis., in Spring, 1868, and began the manufacture of shingles under the firm of Hungerford & Co., they having bought a mill there, which they operated five years; then put in a rotary saw, at which time Mr. Daniels sold his interest. He still lives at Neenah, and after selling his mill he engaged in lumbering on the Wolf River three years, getting his logs manufactured at Oshkosh, after which he went to Hutchinson, Wis., and bought the sawmill, June 1, 1856, calculating to let his son, Frank Daniels, run it; but after operating it until Nov. 19, 1877, his son died. Mr. J. T. Daniels was, therefore, obliged to take charge of the business. Mr. Daniels was born in Paris, Me., Aug. 16, 1816. He was married, 1850, same village; his wife's maiden name was Sarah J. Richards. She was born in Oxford, Me., 1823. They had two children, named Frank W., now dead, and Alfred D. Daniels, M. D., now practicing medicine at Winneconne, Wis.
