p.1118 Biography of Daniel Hamilton Emme
Daniel Hamilton Emme was born in Freedom, Beaver County, Pa, April 12, 1846, and is the youngest of
four children. He is the son of Andrew Emme, who was born in Hanover, Germany, November 9, 1800, and
died in Springhill township, Pa., eighty years later. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the
German army and under Wellington did his part at the famous battle of Waterloo. He came to this
country in 1833, and having previously become a millwright, spent the balance of his working days in
the machine shops of Pittsburg, Pa. In 1868 he decided to leave that city, so bought what was then
the Lewis Hunter farm, where he removed his family and passed the remainder of his life in peace and
quietude in this retired and healthful spot. This farm is now owned and managed by his son Daniel.
His wife was Anna, daughter of Daniel Cooper, one of the soldiers of the Revolutionary army. She was
born in Beaver County, Pa., in 1803. Her mother was also a native of that country, but her people
were of German and Irish descent. Of their children, none but Daniel and his brother William, of
Haydentown, are living. October 7, 1869, Daniel Emme married Miss Thira, daughter of Samuel and
Catherine Huntley, who at that time were living in Monongalia county, W. Va., but formerly lived in
Georges township, Fayette County, Pa. The huntleys had originally intended to go to Ohio, but
stopping in Connellsville on their way, in consequence of the illness of Mrs. Huntley, decided to
make their home in Fayette county. They were probably of English descent. Her mother's family were
of German descent and came to this county from Harper's Ferry, W. Va., at an early day. Mr. and Mrs.
D.H. Emme have five children: Minnie Ann, Catherine Alice, Samuel David, Mary Elizabeth, and Charles
Andrew, all of whom are still at home with their parents. In 1870 a valuable vein of fire-clay was
found on the Emme farm, which is fast taking the place of the famous pot clay which was formerly
imported from Germany. Mr. Emme ships annually to the Clay Pot Company of Pittsburg, Pa., about
eight hundred tons of this clay, which is sold on special contract on account of its superior
quality. He also owns and manages a saw mill. He was educated in the common school of Pittsburg,
and brings to the county the intelligence and culture which were there instilled into his life. Like
his father, he also entered the military service at the age of fifteen. He enlisted July 20, 1861,
in Company L, Twenty-Eighth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. In October, 1862, he was transferred to
Company A, One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in which he served to the
end of the war, and was in many battles, but was never wounded nor was he ever in a hospital. He was
discharged in 1864 near Atlanta, Ga., whence he returned to his old home in Freedom, Pa. After
coming home he learned ship carpentering, at which he worked until he removed with his father to
Springhill township in 1867, where he has ever since resided. In 1868 he joined Gallatin Lodge,
I.O.O.F., of Smithfield, Pa. He is also a member of the G.A.R. Jerry Jones Post. He is a staunch
Republican, and his party has elected him a justice of the peace, which office he is now filling.
With his family he worships in the Springhill Presbyterian church, and lives a consistent Christian
life.
MISCELLANEOUS:
A child named Henrich was listed in this family by Bernard Mayhle, but may be Henry Krummel, who
along with his sister Wilmeene, had been taken under the guardianship of Andrew Emme in Beaver
County, Pennsylvania in 1839 when their father, Ludwick Krummel died. Bernard's information comes
from his Grandmother, who said that she remembers mention of Henry in the family, which Bernard had
assumed was William Emme's brother. Beth Krummel (only4extras@aol.com) provided the guardianship
information, which will be posted here soon.
