  DANIEL M. BISHOP, a well known farmer of Hatfield 
township, is a native of New Britain township, Bucks county, 
Pennsylvania, where he was born January 7, 1862. He is the 
son of Joseph and Susan (Moyer) Bishop. He was educated in 
the schools in the vicinity of his boyhood home, and on 
leaving school learned the trade of a carpenter, which 
occupation he followed until 1876, when he removed to 
Hatfield township, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, and 
purchased a fertile farm near the village of Line Lexington, 
where he has resided ever since, conducting it very 
successfully. He married in 1885 Miss Mary Ruth, daughter of 
joint and Catharine (Swartley) Ruth, of New Britain 
township. 

  The Children of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel M. Bishop: Stella, 
Harry, Wilson and Raymond. Mr. Bishop is an active 
Republican, working and voting in behalf of the candidates 
and policy of that organization. He and his family attend 
the Mennonite church, to which his ancestors for several 
generations have belonged. He is a good neighbor, a 
progressive citizen, and a man highly respected by the 
community in which he lives.

  Joseph Bishop (father) was a native of Bucks county. He 
was born in 1813, and educated in the schools available to 
farmers' sons in his day, there being little choice at that 
tune in this respect. He engaged in the occupation of 
farming, which was that of his ancestors from the time they 
settled in the country, and followed it through life. He 
died in 1885, at the age of seventy-two years. He was a 
Whig, and later a Republican in politics and held the office 
of supervisor for many years. He was a member of the 
Mennonite church. He married Susan Moyer, of an old Bucks 
county Mennonite family. 

  The couple had ten children, as follows: Elizabeth, Mary, 
Catherine, Susan, Samuel, Jacob, Jonas, John, Enos and 
Daniel M., the last named being the subject of this sketch.
