Dr. Daniel, resident physician of the Stackhouse Memorial Institute, is a native of Indiana, having been born in Fillmore, Putnam County, where his parents still reside. His father, Alexander Daniel, is a descendant of German ancestry, and his mother traces her records back to old England.
Dr. Daniel obtained his literary education in the public schools of Fillmore, in the Central Normal College of Danville, in De Pauw University of Greencastle, and in the University of Kentucky at Lexington. His schooling was more than ordinarily thorough. His medical education was obtained at the Medical College of Indiana and at the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons, both located in the City of Indianapolis. From the latter institution Dr. Daniel was graduated with high honors.
He has never engaged in general practice since he located in Davenport, but has devoted his time and attention particularly to diseases of the nose, throat, lungs, and stomach; in other words, he has made himself a specialist in these lines and has been remarkably successful in the treatment of these ailments, although, of course, he comes into daily contact with diseases of every description. Although he has been here but a short time he has taken rank among the foremost medical men of the city, and has built up a large practice.
He is a Mason and a member of the order of Knights of Pythias. He belongs to the American Association of Expert Specialists. In religious belief he is a Presbyterian and is an active member of the Young Men's Christian Association.
