DANIEL A. FUREY, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.
Daniel A. Furey, whose father, Patrick Furey, was a railroad man in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, was born in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, June 28, 1853. He left school at the age of 9 years and began his railroad career in 1862 as a water boy on the D., L. & W. In 1863 he went to the Erie, where he was water boy in the different parts of the service until 1869, when he went to work in the shops at Susquehanna as a wiper. Three years later he was promoted to fireman, and for the ensuing eleven years he fired on the Jefferson Division--eight years on freight and three years on passenger. His promotion to engineer occurred in 1883, and for the past eleven years he has run freight and passenger on the Delaware and Jefferson Divisions. He is credited with being one of the reliable and efficient engineers of the division, and is highly popular with his fellow employes and acquaintances generally. Mr. Furey is affiliated with Starrucca Lodge No. 137, B. of L. E., and is the owner of some well improved property in Susquehanna County.

His mother, Mrs. Bridget Furey, aged 65, is still living, and is quite hale and hearty. The family consists of Mr. Furey, his brother and two sisters, one of whom is married, while the other children still live at home with their mother.
