Chandler, Daniel Lyman, b. 1814.
Biographical notes:
Chicago hostler and Kansas farmer.
Daniel Lyman Chandler from Massachusetts was living and working as a hostler in Chicago in the 1850s, when he decided to emigrate to the Kansas Territory. Staking his claim in Ogden, near Manhattan, Kansas, Chandler farmed corn and hay, and encouraged some members of his family to come west, settle near him and join him in the anti-slavery movement. Apparently Chandler became active in local politics around 1860. It is believed Chandler died in 1892.
