While it was no surprise, it cast a gloom over the city when the death of Daniel Ahrenbeck occurred at the home of his son-in-law, W.J. Miller in Ballinger. Uncle Daniel, as he was known, came to Ballinger when the town was just beginning to build and was one of the pioneer citizens. He was one of the founders of the Ballinger flour mill. He was a pioneer of Texas having come to this country from Germany. He settled in Hempstead County in 1847. Mr. Ahrenbeck was the founder of the first cotton seed oil mill in Texas, and in the early days of Texas was active in railroad construction. Uncle Daniel was a fine man. The Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member conducted the funeral and followed the remains to the train which took them to the old Hempstead home, where the last rites were performed and the body laid to rest in the Hempstead cemetery. Survived by his son-in-law; one granddaughter - Mrs. F. Haberkorn, who lives in Illinois.
