DANIEL J. McNAMARA was born in County Clare Ireland, November 26, 1845,
and is the third son of John and Anna (O'Brien) McNamara, parents of
nine children; three of whom are still living.  The father was born in 
1801 and came to the United State in 1848.  Ellen, sister of Daniel J. 
McNamara, married Mr. Byerns and had two children: Anna B. and Mary E. 
William, Daniel J.'s surviving brother, was born in County Clare, 
Ireland, in October, 1847, is the youngest child, and is now engaged in 
manufacturing tobacco.  Daniel J. McNamara was married in September, 
1876, to Miss L. M. Copeland, of Louisville, Ky., and three children 
have blessed this union, two of whom are living: John and Louise M.  Mr.
McNamara's maternal grandfather, Daniel, was killed in Philadelphia, 
and his paternal grandfather died in 1801.  Daniel J. and William 
McNamara have long been engaged in the manufacturing of tobacco.  The 
McNamara Tobacco Company occupies large and commodious premises, and 
the growth of the trade of this house has been a remarkable one, but is 
simply the reward of persistent and determined effort to succeed by a 
rigid adherence to a straightforward, liberal business policy.  The 
firm carry [sic] an immense stock; their trade extends to all parts of 
the country, and no house in this line of business has a higher 
reputation than this.
