After attending common and high schools, Mr. McLaughlin began life as a hired man on a farm, and when he bought his farm at Dyer Brook, he worked its gardening activities in the summer, and during the winter season cut and drew wood, meantime working as a driver on the river in order to get the property paid for. He now owns his farm of two hundred and forty acres on State Road, Dyer Brook, that is worked on shares by his grandson, Kemp McLaughlin, and he [Daniel] is also owner of a two hundred acre farm on Moro Road in Merrill, where he now resides; and since he was thirteen years old, he has passed life here and at Oakfield and Dyer Brook, except for a short period of time when he visited California. In politics a Republican, Mr. McLauhhlin has held at Merill the offices of first selectman, of tax collector, of which he was the incumbant for thirteen years, and of treasurer for two years.
