DAME DANIEL W. Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Sand- wich, Carroll Co., New Hampshire, on Feb. 8, 1820. On the death of his mother, which occurred when he was but four months old, he was taken tolive with his grandparents, in Rochester, Stratford Co., N. H., where he lived till he removed to Rock Creek, Carroll Co., Ill., in June, 1857. At the death of his grandparents, at the age of 13 years, he was left to his own care, and has since, without pecuni- ary assistance, made his way in the bat- tle of life, by his own energy of character. He obtained such education as was to bè had in the common schools of his native state, with one term in Rochester Acad- emy.
Mr. Dame, after arriving at the age of 21 years, was often called upon to serve his country in a public capacity, and filled various offices, from town, county and state, to Representative in the State Legis- lature, for 2 or 3 terms; was prominently identified in the construction of several railroads leading to the city of Rochester; married Miss Mary A. Roberts, of Milton, N. H., on Nov. 28, 1841; died Sept. 4 1846, leaving one daughter, Julia A .; mar- ried Sophia W. Worster, on April 12, 1847; have one son, Charles S .; lost one by first and three by last marriage. Mr. Dame located on Sec. 29, Rock Creek Tp., 160 acres, and has since added until he has about 500 acres in that farm. He pur- chased the land, and laid out the present thriving City of Lanark, under the au- spices of the Northern Ill. R. R. Co .; has been publicly identified with the growth and prosperity of Carroll Co., filling va- rious offices in town and Co., and has rep- resented Carroll and Jo Daviess Cos. in the State Legislature; has always been in- terested in educational matters, and de-

voted time and means to its promotion ; has been prominently identified with the construction of several railroads in this state, acting in the capacity of superin- tendent, and locating agent and director.
We clip the following from the Rock Island Argus:
The party left Port Byron at 7:30, on the W. W. Ry., in charge of D. W. Dame, Esq., one of the most gentlemanly railroad men it has ever been the fortune of travelers to meet. Mr. D. is a member of the State Legislature, and has a general superin- tending, under the Board of Directors, over all the concerns of the company, to execute all orders of the Board in matters relating to the right of way, surveys, loca- tion of road, making contracts for land, and materials for construction of the road, buildings, fixtures, engines, cars, and making repairs and improvements. At a meeting, held in the office of G. W. Pleas- ant, acting Judge of the Fifth Judicial District of Illinois, we quote from the fol- lowing resolutions passed :
Resolved, That the excursion to Racine and Milwaukee, from which we have just returned, has been a most complete and delightful success in all respects, exceed- ing our highest expectations, for which we are chiefly indebted to the courtesy of the W. W. R. R. Co. and its gentlemanly officers and agents, who had us in their charge. That our acknowledgments are especially due to D. W. Dame, of Lanark, one of the directors, etc.
Mr. Dame was elected the first mayor of the City of Lanark, where he now resides. He has retired from active life, and is enjoying in his pleasant home the fruits of his labors, in peace and quiet, and still takes a lively interest in county, state and national prosperity.
