Oldest Riverman in State
Lives in Old Log Cabin
Captain Daniel Power, Eighty-sx Years Old, Has Been
Celebrated Raft Pilot, Soldier and Marksman

Marysville, Pa, April IT. - About
two miles west of town, between the
big and little mountains, lives Daniel
Powers, the Oldest riverman in Penn
sylvania, and believed by many to be
the oldest in the United States.
"Cap'n Dan," as he is familiarly
known, was born on April 10, 1928, at
Swatara Gap, Lebanon county. Early
in his life Dan showed liking for the
river and in 1886, when only IL years
of age, he piloted his first raft down
the Susquehanna. During his life
time It is estimated that he piloted
over 5000 RATS down the river be-
tween Lock Haven and Marietta. In
addition he piloted many large canal
boats.
Before he had been on the river
many years, Dan came to be known as
one of the best raftsmen on the river,
and his services were always in de-
mand. When any lumberman wanted
a raft taken down the Susquehanna
at its worst time, he would call on
"Cap'n Dan," for Dan always delighted
in doing hazardous pieces of rafting
which others refused to perform.
In one instance "Cap'n Dan" made
$75 for one and one-quarter hours
work, exactly 81 per minute. A large
lumber dealer wished to have two
large RATS taken down the river when
1t was very low. He had hired an
other raftsman to bring them down.
This man got along all right until he
come to Heckton Mills. AT this place
he had to run his RATS between two

the second. In this little cabin he
lives the life of a hermit, as contented
an old man as can be found anywhere.
During the ten years he has lived
at this place no one has lived with
him. UP until last winter he re-
manned in his little home the year
round. Last years severe winter, with
old age creeping on, caused him to
desert his little log cabin and go to
live with his daughter at West Fair
view, but as soon as warmer weather
came, Dan came back to Marysville
saying, Here I have lived for ten
years and here will die"
He attributes his long life to his
careful diet. He will never eat rich
food, living entirely on plain food,
such as mush, potatoes, meat, eggs
and vegetables. Nothing will per-
suade him to taste strong drink of any
kind, saying, IT have gotten along
without it for eighty-six years, and |
will get along without it for the re-
mainder of my life."
On Friday "Cap'n Dan celebrated
his eighty-sixth birthday, and in honor
of the occasion many persons of town
prepared a. donation and an enjoyable
feast for him.
