Daniel A. Curd is one of eight known children for Edmund and Eliza Weston (Thomas) Curd. It is assumed he was named for his grandfather, Daniel Anthony Curd.
Shortly after Daniel was born the family moved from Ohio County, Kentucky to Hardin County, Ohio, where they remained until 1836 when they moved to Coles County, Illinois.
Daniel married Amanda A. Perkins November 29, 1855 in Coles County, Illinois. They had three known children, Vitula A. Curd, Omer Thomas Curd and Mark O. Curd.
Daniel was employed as a saddle and harness maker his entire life. By 1858 the family was living in the small village of Kansas, Edgar County, Illinois, 13 miles East of Charleston. Kansas was incorporated in 1858 and Daniel was chosen as one of the first councilmen. He also had his leather shop where he made his saddles and harnesses. In 1860 Daniel is found in a non-population schedule for Brouilletts Creek in Edgar County.
On April 20, 1861 in Charleston, Illinois Cpt. J. M. Ashmore signed Daniel up as a Corporal with Company C, 8th Illinois Infantry for three months. He was mustered in on April 25th in Springfield, Illinois. Daniel mustered out on July 25th.
Daniel and Amanda are still living in Kansas, Illinois in 1862 and 1863 as shown by the tax lists for his leather and harnesses. By 1865 they have moved to Charleston, Illinois.
On August 1, 1862, in Charleston, Illinois, James B. Hill signed Daniel up for three years as a Sergeant in Company A, 123rd Illinois Infantry. He was mustered in at Mattoon, Illinois on September 6, 1862. He was mustered out at Quincy, Illinois on June 22, 1865. The last three months of his service he was sick and unable to serve.
Daniel lived in Charleston the rest of his life and continued making saddles and harnesses. This was something he had learned from his father, who was also employed in the same trade. In 1875 we do find him in a city directory for the small village of Ashmore, 6 miles East of Charleston along the road to Kansas, Illinois, where he used to live. It could be that he had opened a second shop there.
Daniel died from congestion on the brain.
