Solomon Danner, agriculturist, son of the above, was born in York Co., Pa., June 15, 1829, and was about 3 years old when his parents settled in Butler Co., O., where he grew to manhood, and for some years became employed on the Cincinnati & Toledo Canal. In the spring of 1849 he came to this county, where he has since resided, and has succeeded in accumulating considerable wealth. In 1857 he was married to a daughter, Miss Elizabeth, of James Litchfield, who ranks among the early settlers of the county. Eight children have been born to them, 7 of whom are living, - Sarah C., Jane H., Jacob L. (deceased), Henry, Samuel B., William J., John and Albert.
