Notes from his writeup in Schuylkill County Biographies:

Smith, Daniel H., a merchant and dealer in farm implements at Haas, Pa., was
born in Eldred township, Schuylkill county, Oct 9, 1850, a son of John S.
and Judith (Herb) Smith, the father being a mechanic in Haas during all
of his mature years. He was a master at his trade of blacksmithing and was
able to design and make anything within the sphere of his business.

*snip*

The subject of this sketch was educated in the public schools and at the age
of nineteen started on hisbusiness career independent of home counsels or
restrictions.

He married Miss Susanna Derr, of Fountain Springs, Pa, and they have four
children living,the youngest of the family, John, having died at the age of four years.
The eldest is Emma, now the wife of James Knerr, of Eldred township; Jane is
married to E.W. Brosious, also of Eldred township; Cyrus, a blacksmith by
occupation, married Clara Hepler and resides at his parental home; Dirzah became
the wife of William Treon and resides at Locust Dale, Pa.

Mr Smith served an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade during his youth,
and worked at that business for thirty-four years. He owns a farm which he
conducts in connection withhis mercantile business at Haas. This includes a
full line of staple and fancy groceries, drugs, confectionery, tobacco and cigars,
farm implements, etc.He has been assessor of Eldred township for fifteen
years; served twelve years as a member of the township school board; has been
local agent of the North Western Mutual Fire Insurance Company for
twenty years; and has been postmaster at Haas for twenty-one years.

He is a man thoroughly well read, and a leader in the councils of Republicanism.
His friends are legion, and his acquaintance extends to the remotest corners
of the county.

Cause of Death: of acute yellow atrophy of liver
