Daniel was 11 years old when his father moved the family to Stone County in 1859. He grew to manhood sharing the closeness of a pioneer family living in a one room cabin with a loft and a fireplace at one end.
Custom was hinged upon necessisty, and the boys' opportunity for a formal education was limited by the scarcity of schools plus the need to be in the fields when weather permitted.
Daniel farmed a quarter section of land in Section 24 of township 22 adjourning property owned by his brother, James. The brothers decided that the river bottom was a bad place to live, and they would move to get away from the "chills" that plagued them yearly.
Daniel sold James 40 acres, including the hosue, and moved across the river to a place on the bluff. At this point eh was just four miles north of Baxter.
James built further up on his land where the house presently stands. Whenever he referred to the 40 acres purchased, it was known as "Dan Farm." The house was used from time to time by relatives needing a place to stay.
Dan bought 80 acres of land from the Missouri Land and Live Stock Co., Limited, of Scotland. Home office: 16 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. Business office in the United States at Rogers, Arkansas.
In addition to farming, and at one time owning a mercantile store in Baxter, Daniel was a Freewill Baptist preacher.
There are family stories about Daniel's death that have not been substantiated, of how he was killed. One such story has Daniel preaching at the Jones school house when a man came up to the window and started a disturbance, and Daniel had him put in jail. Sometime later, Daniel was riding his horse home from a meeting and was hit in the head by this man, and left for dead.
Cecile Townsend, who later married Bryan Owens, was walking to school and saw a man lying on the road, and she ran to Crittendon and Pansy Owens' house to tell them of what she had seen.
Daniel was carried to their home where he remained in a coma for three days before he died.
The death certificate states that Daniel died of a concussion of the brain, caused by being thrown from a horse.
Daniel died 7 Sept., 1912, William Township, Stone County, Missouri; bd. Owens Cem.
Handbills were printed and distributed for the big sale held September 28, 1912. Among the items to be auctioned off were 1 grown mare, 1 roan mare, 1 yearling mule, 1 suckling mule, 17 head of hogs, 1 binder, 1 wheat drill, 1 spring tooth harrow, 1 wagon, 1 set of work harness, 1 turning plow, 1 double shovel, 1 buggy, 1 saddle, 1 shotgun, 1 dinner bell, 35 bushels of wheat, 6 acres of corn, and other articles too numberous to mention.
L. A. Johnston was the auctioneer, and Gib Owens, who lived in Binger, Oklahoma, was holding the sale on his father's (D.M.C. Owens) farm.
The terms were: All sums under $5, cash; over $5, 12 months time would be given on notes and approved security, bearing 8 per cent interest. Five per cent discount for cash.
