Daniel D. Doll was born in Darwin, Clark county, Ill., November 2, 1848 and died in Marshall, Ill, November 17, 1920, aged 72 years and 15 days. His father, Stephen R. Doll was one of the early pioneers of this county. They moved to Marshall when Daniel was 2 years of age and Marshall has been his home ever since.
Mr. Doll received his education in the Public schools of Marshall and in Westfield College. He was married in 1876 to Miss Belle Littlefield of this city who still survives him. To this union three children were born, one of whom, Emma Doll, has preceded him to the great beyond. Two children, Louis J. Doll and Mrs. Clarence Smith, and one grandchild, Bernice Smith, survive him.
In 1869 Mr. Doll succeeded his father in the grocery business in this city and continued in that business for more that 50 years, perhaps longer than any other man in business in Marshall. Through all the year, he was recognized and respected as one of the outstanding business men of this community. He was one of the organizers of the first bank in Marshall, the Clark County Bank, and took a leading part in all business affairs. He was an honest man and a kind and generous merchant. A good and loving father and husband. In every social gathering while he was a young man, he was the soul of the meeting. His genial disposition and jolly good nature were always outstanding. At the time of his death, he was president of the Marshall Cemetery Board and he will be missed sorely from our councils. He was also an active member of the K of P. lodge, being a charter member.
