New Ulm Review: DR.. Daniels
| whose early life was closely linked
with the early history of Southern
Minnesota was here Monday to pay
what is likely his last visit to New
Ulm, the scene of much that marked
| his life as young physician with
| interest. He was stationed at ST.
Peter before the Outbreak and often
was called to attend the early set
tiers when herbs and homely rem
| edies could not cure their ills. At
| the time of the massacre he was
one of the party that came to the
rescue of the besieged settlers here
residents is thoroughly familiar with
| and nearly every one of the older
the mans name and fame, though
/ there are few now living who knew
him personally then. He was, up
to the time of his retirement fifteen
years ago, the oldest practicing
physician in the state of Minnesota.
He is SO years old at this time and
hardly expects ever to see Minnesota
again. He has been spending the
summer with ST. Peter friends and
was in New Ulm earlier in the sea-
son but said Monday he simply
could not leave without ont more
visit here. His son, Harry Daniels.
County Surveyor of Nieollet, ac-
companied him to New Ulm. He
starts on his return trip to Califor-
mia today.
