Daniel's parents were James and Mariah (Bowler) Huntington. He married Mary Stone, daughter of Martin and Caroline Cole Stone, on September 14, 1845 in Shelby County, Indiana where she had been born.
In 1850, while still in Brown County, Indiana, Daniel was a farmer. His property was valued at $100. By this point, he had a wife and two or three children. The Huntington's left Indiana and came west in October 1852. They spent the first winter at Monticello with Mrs. Jonathan Burbee on her land claim. (This land is owned by one of my family members.)
After this Daniel filed for his own Donation Land Claim and received 321 acres adjoining his father's property. By the 1860 Census he had land valued at $2500 and personal property worth $400. He was still farming, but had certainly prospered since he left Indiana.
Between 1864-1867, Daniel operated the store at Monticello. On March 14, 1866 he had purchased from Augustus Burbank, for $620 "a lot of ground situated in the town of Monticello known as A. R. Burbank's store, dwelling house and lot...on Front Street or highway...containing 4, 000 ft. more or less." He was in the process of selling it to Oliff Olson when the big flood of '67 swept everything away.
Following the flood he had a house built or purchased the house built by Daniel and Fred Stone, abt. 2 miles so. of Kelso on the Cowlitz River. The land was previously owned by Anton Garbar. Daniel took the lower 320 acres, James the upper.
In spite of the setback he continued to prosper and by the 1870 Census had land work $4,000 and personal property valued at $1,400. He farmed and was a Tanner, as well.
Daniel and his wife, Mary Jane, were members of the Christian Church. I don't know where they worshipped.
His daughter, Adelia Desdemona is also buried at the Catlin cemetery. She died unmarried at the age of 30.
