"a lifetime spent in pursuing one occupation will in the end result in substantial success, where energy and perseverance are applied, can not for a moment be doubted, and such is found to be the case with Mr. Root, for, now closely approaching the age of 67 years, he has from boyhood given his attention to agricultural pursuits, in connection with the raising of stock in more recent years. He was brought up to this calling and first farmed with his father in the Blue Grass State, until 21 years of age, then coming to Missouri and settling in Livingston county. He remained there about ten years, and then went to Grundy county (he is on the 1850 and 1860 census in Grundy Co), but short time only was needed to show him his mistake that had been made in leaving this county. Accordingly he returned here, and this has been his home, his place being one of good improvements and under a high state of cultivation, such a homestead as Mr. Root, with his progressive ideas and advanced manners would be supposed to own. He grows fine sheep to some extent and has graded all of his stock to a fair standard. Like many other citizens of this county, Mr. Root owes his nativity to Clay county, Kentucky, where he was born September 28, 1819, the sixth of eight children resulting from the union of John and Nancy Root (formerly Miss Cox), the father a native of Maryland and the mother a Virginian by birth; she died when about 68 years old. John Root was a farmer and copper by occupation and lived to the age of 68 years. Daniel was favored with common advantages for acquiring an education in youth, after which as stated he began tilling the soil. September 8, 1843, his marriage to Miss Nancy H. Hereford (the name Nancy doesn't fit with other records - could there be a mistake since the mother's name was Nancy?), originally from Chariton county, Missouri was consumated. Her father, Elisha Hereford, was long one of Livingston's prominent farmers and stock raisers, his death occurring in 1866, the age of sixty-two years. Mrs. Root's mother was formerly Miss Nancy Crawford, of Scotch descent. Mr and Mrs. Root have by this union six children living; Elisha H., William B., James G., George M., Alice and Mary E. Six are also deceased. Mr. Root and wife and one son and daughter, Elisha and Alice, are members of the Baptist Church. About eighteen years ago he joined Alexander Lodge No. 385, A.F. and A.M. of Bedford."
