Note: Opposite side of the marker has completely eroded away.  (Yeah, I took the pictures in Spring and Fall.)

 

Daniel with his 2nd wife Esther were living in New York City, New York by 1870 according to the 1870 census.  When she or they moved to Greenville, WI is not clear, but should be before 1874.

 

Witnesses to Esther and Daniel’s wedding were William Lent, her 1st husband, and Frank Greenfield, whom I believe is an uncle.
