==========================================================================
Daniel Weaver, retired merchant and mill owner, Hesperia, was born April
28, 1811, in Rensselaer County, N.Y., and when but three weeks old, his
parents removed to North Adams, Mass., where he remained until 1829, when
he went to Genesee County, N.Y., where he remained four years.  He then
came to this state, remaining five years at Adrian, sixteen years at
Hillsdale, and twelve years at Fremont Centre, moving to Hesperia in 1866,
having been, a large portion of his life, in milling and mercantile
business.  He was five years supervisor in Hillsdale County, and has held
various township offices, such as justice of the peace, and is at present
highway commissioner.  He built, in 1871, the first gristmill in this
portion of the county, and built the first store and put in the first
stock of goods that were brought to Hesperia.  He has one of the finest
residences in the village.
