HON. DANIEL W. GILL.

HON. DANIEL W. GILL.
Hon. Daniel W. Gill, a member of the state senate, who is engaged in the real estate business in Cheyenne, was born in Hinsdale, Massachusetts, on the 18th of April, 1856, a son of Bartholomew and Mary (Dwyer) Gill, both of whom passed away in Massachusetts. They had a family of five sons and two daughters, of whom Daniel W. was the fifth in order of birth. At the usual age Daniel W. Gill became a public school pupil and later attended the Connecticut Literary Institution at Suffield, Connecticut. He subsequently entered upon his business career as a clerk in Springfield, Massachusetts, in the art store of his brother. There he remained for seven years and during one year of that period acted as bookkeeper. In 1883 he came to Wyoming, believing that he might have better business opportunities in the great and growing west. He then accepted a clerkship in the office of the secretary of the territory where he remained for six years, and in 1890 he turned his attention to the real estate business, in which he is still engaged. He is thoroughly familiar with property values and knows exactly the property that is upon the market in Cheyenne. His business affairs have been carefully and wisely conducted and his realty transfers have been systematically and successfully negotiated. Aside from his business, Mr. Gill has figured prominently in democratic circles in Wyoming, laboring earnestly and untiringly for the success of his party because of his firm belief in its principles. In 1914 he was elected to the state senate for a four years' term, from 1915 to 1919. and is now a member of that body, giving thoughtful and earnest consideration to all the vital questions which come up for settlement. He was mayor of Cheyenne for two terms, in 1905-06 and 1913-14. and has been United States commissioner since 1904. Fraternally he is connected with various branches of Masonry and has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite. He is also a Knight Templar and Shriner and has been secretary of his blue lodge since 1887 and of the chapter since 1889, while he has been recorder of the commandery since 1890. He is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Other fraternal connections include the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Woodmen. He belongs to the Industrial Club and he stands for all those activities and interests which are of value to the community in its material, social, intellectual, political and moral upbuilding, and his efforts in behalf of Cheyenne and its improvement have been farreaching and effective.
