The success achieved by Daniel N. CAMMEYER, a farmer of Towaco, Morris county, New Jersey, is the result of industry and resolute purpose. He is a son of Theodore CAMMEYER, a native of the State of New York, who was engaged in business in New York City for some years. Later he removed to Morris county, on the farm now occupied by his son, and there followed farming until his death at the age of sixty-four years. He married Sarah JACOBUS, born on this farm, which had been in her family for some generations, and where she is still living at the age of eighty-one years. They had children: Daniel N., the subject of this review; Ida, who married ______ GOODRICH; Stella. Daniel N. CAMMEYER was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1852, and was educated in the schools of that city. For a number of years he was engaged in general farming, in the employ of his father, and upon the death of the latter, worked independently on the same farm, which consists of eighty acres. He is a Republican in national politics, and independent in local matters. At present he is in office as surveyor of highways, and takes a deep interest in all questions concerning the welfare of the community. The house now occupied by him was erected by his maternal grandfather. Mr. CAMMEYER married Estella, a daughter of Thomas Phillips, a native of England, who emigrated to this country, and settled at Boonton, Morris county. For a number of years he worked in the rolling mills, and died at the age of sixty-nine years. He married Martha Lewis, and had children: Sarah, Thomas, Ida, Jessie, Estella, who married Mr. CAMMEYER; Arthur. Mr. and Mrs. CAMMEYER have children: Theodore and Dorothy.
