lived in Seven Hills (a district in Owensboro). His brother Jake came to visit
from Pennsylvania. He arrived in a hack. Dan was at work so Jake said he would
come back that evening. At first, Dan did not recognize Jake. So, Jake posed as
someone wanting a house built. When Jake finished his visit in Owensboro, he
went back to Pennsylvania. Daniel was a carpenter, and he built many houses and
barns in Owensboro and Daviess County."
