Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [226-227]

           DANIEL H. LUDINGTON, merchant at Verona Mills, was born Sept.
        29, 1856, in the township of Sand Beach, Huron County.  He is the
        son of JEREMIAH and MARIA A. (TRESCOTT) LUDINGTON.  His father has
        been an extensive lumberman and business man of this part of Huron
        County for the past 34 years. (See sketch of JEREMIAH LUDINGTON.)
        In 1875 he took charge of the mercantile interests of his father,
        also acting as book-keeper.  In the fall of 1877 he opened business
        in the same branch at his present location, where he operated suc-
        cessfully until the year of general ruin - 1881 - when he experi-
        enced the common fate.  His business suffered almost utter loss,
        $5,000 being swept away with but little relief from insurance.  In
        the following year he rebuilt his store, erecting a structure 24 x
        40 feet, one and a half stories in height, his residence being
        placed beside the building in which he has since transacted busi-
        ness.  He carries a general stock of merchandise suited to the lo-
        cal demand.  In addition to his commercial interests he traffics to
        some extent in real estate.  He is serving his third term as Town-
        ship Clerk.  In 1872 he was appointed Postmaster and is still the
        incumbent of the position.  MR. LUDINGTON is a member of the
        Masonic fraternity.
           He was married in Sigel Township, Huron County, Sept. 16, 1877,
        to ABERTLE REDMON, a native of Germany, daughter of JOHN and
        PHILIPENA REDMON.  Three children have been born of their marriage
        - MILTON J., INA E. and RUBY MAY.
