Daniel E. ADAMS, baker and grocer, was born in Raymond, Macoupin County, Illinois October 13, 1840.
His early childhood was spent in attending the common schools of his native
county, and in assisting his father upon the homestead farm. At the age of twenty
years, he embarked upon his career in life as a farmer, in Macoupin County, where he
remained two years, and then removed to Montgomery County, and purchased forty acres
of wild prairie land, which he improved and eventually sold. He then returned to the
same section where his last farm was located, and purchased sixty acres of prairie
land, which was partly improved. Soon after he sold it, and purchased 110 acres near
by, and lived upon it three years, at the end of which time he sold out again and
returned to Zanesville Township, and bought eighty acres. He continued in the occupation
of a farmer until 1880, when he again sold out and removed to Raymond, where he purchased
twenty-eight acres of village property, and entered into a grocery, at which business he
was more than ordinarily successful, and by his energy, business habits, and the pleasing
manner in which he attended to the wants of his customers, he built up a large trade. He
eventually sold his interest and entered into partnership in a general mercantile business
with W. H. WILBANKS, with whom he continued about one year, when he bought his partner’s
interest and continued in the business by himself. In January, 1882, he sold his business,
and at present is engaged in conducting a bakery, grocery and restaurant, where, for the
short time he has been in the trade, he has succeeded in building up a large and steadily
increasing trade. He was married, October 24, 1860, to Elizabeth Jane WAGNER, who was
born in Washington County, Ill., November 14, 1840. She is the mother of eight children
– Emma Elnora, born in Macoupin County, August 19, 1861, wife of P. B. BERGO, now living

W., born March 16, 1871; William H., born February 23, 1874; Viola Jane, born March 16,
1879, and two infants, deceased. Mrs. ADAMS is a daughter of Jacob D. and Lucinda
(McDONALD) WAGNER, he was born in Illinois, and one of the early settlers of Macoupin County,
she, born in Tennessee, deceased. William C. ADAMS, the father of our
subject, was born in West Virginia; moved from there to Tennessee, but eventually to
Macoupin County, in 1827, a farmer by occupation. His death occurred January 21, 1853.
His wife, Margaret WARD, was a native of Tennessee, and is still living. She is the mother
of twelve children, of whom Daniel was the ninth child. He was elected Constable in 1873,
and served one year. In 1874, he was elected a Highway Commissioner of Zanesville
Township, and served three years. He has been an active member of the I. O. O. F. order
for a number of years. Politically, his sympathies are with the Democratic party.
