  Notes	(1) Historical and Biographical Annals of Columbia and Montour Counties, Pennsylvania, Volume II, Chicago, IL: J. H. Beers & Co., 1915, pp. 774-775: Daniel H. Creveling was born Nov. 12, 1865, in Scott township, Columbia county, and obtained all his early education in public school there, later having a term at the Bloomsburg State Normal School. Remaining with his father until sixteen years old, he spent the next four years with his uncle Harvey, and then took up the trade of blacksmith, at which he worked for two years, seven months. He then entered the employ of J. L. Dillon and has since been engaged in truck raising. During the nine years he was with Mr. Dillon he gained thorough familiarity with the florist and truck business, and was so trusted by Mr. Dillon that he acted as superintendent of his establishment until he went into business for himself in 1902. His trade has developed and expanded in a most encouraging degree, and he now has over twenty thousand feet of glass on his tract of sixteen and a half acres, all of which is utilized in the most approved manner. He makes a specialty of lettuce and all kinds of green truck, raised and handled according to up-to-date methods, and his shipments have increased yearly from the start, his patrons having found that he can be relied upon to give them the best products and service possible. Mr. Creveling erected the fine residence on his property in 1900, renting it out the first four years. He is an interested member of the Grange, and fraternally is connected with the P. O. S. of A. and the Masons (Washington Lodge, No. 265, F. & A. M.). He is a Lutheran in religion, and has served as elder of his church. Mr. Creveling votes independently. In 1891 Mr. Creveling was married to Lyvera Holdren, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Kirchner) Holdren, of Pine township, Columbia county. They have had two children: Eunice, born March 31, 1893, who has been an invalid all her life; and Elizabeth, born Jan. 3, 1913, named after both her grandmothers. Mr. and Mrs. Creveling have also reared Alta Applegate from the age of five years; she is now seventeen, and attending high school at Bloomsburg. (2) www.findagrave.com: Daniel H.
