Notes for Daniel Fleming:

********************
Daniel Fleming was born in Athens county near Bishopville, October 22,
1822. He is the son of John and Christina Fleming. John Fleming was born
in Germany in 1777, and came to the United States and settled in New York
at the age of fifteen.

Our subject attended the public and private schools of New York until about
seventeen years of age, when he secured work on a sailing vessel plying
between New York and New Orleans, making several trips between those
points. Becoming acquainted with the engineers of the "New York and
Harlem" Railway, then being built by George Law, one of the few
millionaries of that day, he engaged as fireman on one of their crude, but
at that time wonderful engines. He was afterwards sent to the "Mohawk and
Hudson" Railway, which connected Schenectady and Albany. In this position,
he was an engineer and ran the "John Bull," an engine which was built in
England, and which was exhibited at the Columbian Exposition held at
Chicago in 1893. He was also employed on the steam vessel, "Oregon,"
which, owing to her size and the fact that she was propelled by steam, was
an object of much curiosity.

In 1845, Mr. Fleming returned to Ohio and the scenes of his childhood, and
purchased a farm of fifty acres; he was married May 16, 1846 to Lucy P.
Gardner, daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Smith) Gardner. Thirteen
children were born to them, seven of which survive- Joseph, William, John,
Theodore, Lincoln, Julia, and Edith.

**Athens Messenger has an article telling of the Fleming and McKinley
families going to the Smithsonian to see the exhibit of the John Bull. I
will insert newspaper article here.
