It fell to the lot of Daniel to occupy in some measure the place
left vacant by his father Daniel(823) death. He took the farm
lying between the road and the river, and completed the house
which his father had planned to build. He went to the academy at
Farmington, as did his brother David. He was apparently
postmaster as early as 1840. Later, when the gold fever swept
away so many of Maine's best sons, he started with the other
argonauts for California. His brothers George(1184) had already
gone in 1849. Stephen(1183) and Frank(1186) followed in 1852.
Charles Wesley(1199) son of Hiram(1179) his brother, went with a
party in 1856, and died of fever in California shortly after his
arrival. The miners seem to have been fairly successful, as by
April 17, 1852, Daniel(1178) had accumulated $2500, and
George(1184) $1200. These amounts were increased largely by
subsequent ventures, the miners sometimes making as high as $100
per day. Before going west Daniel(1178) had begun the culture of
silkworms, believing that a profitable industry could be built up
from this source. In the trip to California he went by water, and
when on the arrival of the party in Panama the steamship did not
materialize, Daniel(1178), becoming restive, took passage in a
sailing vessel, and was three months in arriving in San
Francisco. Before going west he sold the farm to his cousin
James(1090), and on his return he occupied his former home until
his death, he being the last of the Towles to live in Avon. After
his death his widow went to Minnesota, where her son Daniel(1196)
was living, and the property soon passed into other hands. His
daughter Clarinda(1195) went to school at Goshen to David(1181).
