McDaniel have been directed into those channels which have for their object public improvement as well as the attainment of individual prosperity, and his work as a general contractor has made him well known throughout Yuba County. He is one of Marysville�s leading business men and was here born March 2, 1889, a son of Hon. E. P. and Mary Adelia (Peacock) McDaniel, of whom mention is made on another page in this history. E.W. McDaniel was reared and educated in his native county and after completing his high school training served an apprenticeship to the carpenter�s trade, at which he worked on Hammonton boats. In 1913 he established a business of his own, entering the contracting field, from which he later withdrew; but in 1922 he resumed his operations along that line. He has the skill to combine utility and comfort with beauty of design, and his work is of high character and uniform excellence. Among the structures he has erected are the hall for the Woman�s Improvement Club of Tierra Buena and a number of apartment houses and private residences. He is now executing a contract for the Yuba Consolidated Gold Company. There is a large demand for his services and ten men are employed in the operation of the business, which is one of growing extent and importance. Mr. McDaniel married Miss Lois Clough, a native of Quincy, Plumas County, and a daughter of Judge George G. Clough. Of this union has been born a son, Lowell E. Mr. McDaniel is a member of the Builders� Exchange. In politics he is a Democrat. He is fond of fishing and hunting, and he is devoted to the welfare of his family, with whom he finds his greatest happiness. His activities have greatly enhanced the value of property in this district, and his close conformity to the rules which govern strict integrity and unabating industry has won for him the unqualified respect of his fellow men.
