My Genealogy Hound

DANIEL MEAD, son of James Mead, was born in 1835. He grew to maturity with his parents, his boyhood and youth being spent on and about the old homestead in Posey Township, near where he now lives. He subsequently resided seven years in the “bottoms,” and except that time has been a resident of “the neighboring hills.” He married, in 1856, Miss Lucinda Davis, daughter of Henderson and Elizabeth (Mason) Davis, she a native of this county, her parents natives of Maryland and Kentucky. Her father came to Kentucky when a boy; married there, and afterward became residents of this county. By this union to Mr. and Mrs. Mead were born seven children, six living: Elwood, Emma, Edith May, Scott, Grace, Edna and James. Elwood married Florence Chase, of LaFayette, Ind., daughter of H. W. Chase, a prominent attorney of that city. He is also an attorney, and for two years was professor in Colorado State College, Fort Collins. Emma, wife of Fred Bunger, now residents of Weld County, Col. Mr. Mead inherited thirty acres of land, and to this he has added, until he now owns 194 acres, and may be regarded as one of the most substantial farmers of this township. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, an exemplary citizen, takes some part in politics and exerts his influence for the man of his choice, regard less of party.
