Page 640 [The Record of Olden Times Biographical Department - Putnam County [Illinois]]
Mr. Danley is a grain and product dealer in Hennepin, who was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1820, and came to Peoria county in 1850. He engaged here in farming, and after six months removed to Marshall county, settling on the "Reeves"
property, whose story is told in this work. He purchased the place from Benjamin Lombard. He ran the farm until 1868, and then sold it to other parties. He began the grain trade in Henry in 1857, building up a large and extensive business. In 1865 he
built one of the finest warehouse on the river, with a capacity of 130,000 bushels, which he sold in 1869. In 1868 he built the fine residence now owned by Mr. Wright. He then went to Ohio Station, in Bureau county, and built another warehouse at
Bradford, in Stark county, and ran both houses in connection with C. S. Loomis for two years. In 1873 he returned to Henry, and has been buying grain for Nicholson & Co., up to the present time. While the lock and dam were building, Mr. Danley
furnished large quantities of timber for it. In 1847 he married Nancy McCoy, daughter of Col. John McCoy of Washington, Pa. She died in 1855. His present wife was Catherine A. Noe, of Elizabeth, N.J., whom he wedded in 1857. Three children are the
fruits of this marriage, Eugenie N., born in 1860; Mary L, 1861; and Willie M., 1871. He was a supervisor of Whitefield and Saratoga townships for six years and in 1870 was elected supervisor from Henry, which office he held until his removal from the
county in 1878. Mr. Danley has taken a prominent part in everything pertaining to public interests, discharging the duties devolving upon him to the entire satisfaction of the public.
