(published in the Hico News Review on 9-9-2010)
Daniel Pingree was a sixth generation American; the family's first ancestor of this country was Moses Pingree, who came from England. The family located at Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1640. Daniel Pingree was born in Springfield, New Hampshire, on January 26, 1819, the son of Andrew and Abiah (Straw) Pingree. The family removed to Kane County, Illinois. There he decided to enter the medical profession, studying first in Tennessee and then at Indiana medical College. He practiced for one year in Germantown, Tennessee, and then went overland to California. Pingree married June Havenhill[sic]on November 10, 1859. They had three children, two daughters and one son. In California, he practiced medicine until 1859 when he returned to Pingree Grove, Illinois. There he practiced medicine until 1883, when he traveled to Fort Worth, Texas. The next year he came to Hico and purchased land near Carlton and Hico. His daughter, Ellen Douglas Pingree conger moved with him to Hico. He built a lovely large home on the Bosque River, the house now known as Star gables, which he sold in 1906 to J. P. Rogers. Below the house is a low water river crossing known as Pingree crossing. That area of the river was often used for baptisms. During his time and Hico, Pingree either gave or sold to the city of Hico land for the city park. He was very active in city affairs. He served as aldermen for three years and then served as mayor for three or four terms he was instrumental in establishing the Hico Cemetery Association. He was a very prominent citizen until his death on December 25, 1900.
