He acquired a good education by attendance at the district schools and Plainfield Academy. His natural tastes inclined him toward the legal profession, but just as he was about to enter upon his studies to that end, his father died, and his services were needed at home. Cheerfully putting aside his own ambition he sold the store, and applied himself diligently to the management of the farm--a work he continued to pursue all his life. He became very successful, and carried on operations on a large scale, cultivating at one time over 300 acres, but later he disposed of a large portion of it. He made a specialty of vegetable produce, and was one of the first to sell his products in the surrounding villages. He was a man of rare foresight and sound judgment, and by economy and wise management became one of the most successful men of the town. For some ten years prior to his death he suffered from ill health, and he entered into rest Aug. 13, 1900, and was buried in Ames cemetery. "Politically Mr. Browne was a stanch Republican, and while always attentive to his personal affairs, he did not neglect those duties incumbent upon every good American citizen. He held at various times about every office in the gift of his fellow townsmen. In 1851 he represented the town in the Legislature, and among the minor offices held may be mentioned those of town clerk, treasurer and selectman. In 1861, when a portion of the town was set off to become a part of the town of Sprague, he was called upon to look after the interests of Lisbon before the Legislature, and very ably did he perform his task. The confidence of the people was his, and he bent every energy to the honorable and successful performance of the duties imposed upon him. His word was as good as a bond, and his decisions when once given were regarded as unalterable. As a trustee of the Jewett City Savings Bank, he proved his intimate knowledge of financial affairs. He was an attendant of the Newent Congregational Church, which he liberally supported, and he was a member of the Ecclesiastical Society. When the present church edifice was erected, he was one of the active members of the building committee. "On Feb. 11, 1856, Mr. Browne was united in marriage with Phœbe Tidwell Burnham, who was born in Kinsman, Trumbull Co., Ohio, of Pilgrim stock, daughter of Jedediah and Sophia (Tidwell) Burnham, natives of Lisbon, and Canton, Conn., respectively. Her grandfather, Jedediah Burnham, was a surgeon in the Revolutionary service. Jedediah Burnham (2), her father, went to Ohio in young manhood, and died there, at the age of eighty-four years, while his wife passed away at the age of fifty-four. He served as a captain in the War of 1812, and his son Jedediah (3) was in the United States signal service in the Civil war. The remains of son, father and grandfather lie side by side in the cemetery at Kinsman, Ohio. Jedediah Burnham (2) and wife were the parents of twelve children, all but four of whom are now deceased. Mrs. Browne graduated from the famous Grand River Institute at Ashtabula, O., and previous to her marriage engaged in teaching. She now resides at the old home in Lisbon, dearly beloved by all who know her. She is an earnest worker in the Newent Congregational Church. To Daniel M. Browne and wife came one son, William Tyler, born Dec. 26, 1856."
