He was president of the National Union Bank, and a director of the Wampanaug Mills, and of the Slade Mills. In the death of Daniel Wilbur the community lost a good citizen, a man upright, honest, and true, one respected and trusted by all who knew him, a man who did his own thinking from premises which he had himself investigated, and whose conclusions were his honest convictions and the basis of his actions in all matters.

Walker, of Fall River, and they have one child, Janet Elizabeth. (VIII) Daniel Wilbur (6), son of Daniel and Nancy O. (Slade) Wilbur, was born at the old homestead in Somerset. He was educated in the public schools, the East Greenwich Academy, and Scholfield's Business College, in Providence R. I.

Slade now Uves, and since October, 1898, has resided on the old homestead. A Republican in politics, Mr. Wilbur has served his town faithfully as a member of the school committee, for ten years as selectman, and thirteen years as registrar of voters.
