      Daniel Rich, farmer and stock grower, Khedive, Penna, 
was born in Cumberland Township, Greene County, April 25, 
1830, and is a son of David Rich and Margaret Morrison Rich. 
His parents were also natives of Greene County, and of 
German and English ancestry. His father and grandfather were 
both farmers and among the early settlers of the county. 
Daniel Rich is the ninth in a family of thirteen children, 
twelve of whom grew to maturity. He was reared on the farm, 
attending school in the township, and also graded school in 
Virginia. He chose farming as his occupation and is now the 
owner of 360 acres of valuable land in Cumberland Township 
where he resides and is regarded as one of the leading men 
of Greene County. He lived four years in Monroe County, 
Ohio, where he was united in marriage October 8, 1858, with 
Miss Lany Stephens, daughter of Levi Stephens, a native of 
Greene County, Penna, and of German origin. They have two 
children: A L Rich, born in Monroe County, Ohio, August 13, 
1859; and Phoebe C Rich, who is the wife of Columbus Scott. 
  
      Their son A L Rich was reared on their present farm in 
Cumberland Township, to which his parents returned soon 
after his birth. He was married October 8, 1882, to Miss 
Kate Harry, daughter of C C Harry, and they have one child, 
Stephen Harry Rich, an interesting boy of five years.
  
      In politics Mr Daniel Rich is a Republican and was 
elected justice of the peace in 1880, also in 1885. He is 
energetic and successful in his business and has always held 
the confidence of his neighbors. He has settled up fifteen 
estates for heirs in the neighborhood, to the entire 
satisfaction of the parties concerned. His family are all 
members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which he 
has served as trustee and superintendent of the Sabbath 
school.
