FRED E. DANIELS
A native son of Stockton who has risen to a high degree of success in the building business is Fred E. Daniels, junior member of the building firm of Daniels & Green. Born July 4, 1890, in Stockton, he is the son of Wesley and Jessie (Kern) Daniels, both natives of Canada, who came to California in 1888 and spent two years in Los Angeles, locating in Stockton early in the year 1890. Four children were born to them: Myrtle, Fred E., Wesley, Jr., and Margaret, and a sketch of the parents appears elsewhere in this history.
The second of the family, Fred E. Daniels attended the public schools of Stockton and entered the employ of Roberts & Clark as a boy, working up from the bottom in every department of the mill. Later he was engaged for a year in carpenter work with Bob Melvin, as outside man. Thirteen years ago he became associated with his father in the firm of Daniels & Green, pioneer contractors of Stockton, and has since been busily engaged in promoting the firm's work, with the exception of the time he spent in Moore's Shipyard at Oakland, during the World War. A valued member of the firm, he superintends the outside work and the crews of workmen employed by them, displaying unusual capacity as an executive in this line.
In Oakland on September 9, 1913, Mr. Daniels was married to Miss Lena Albera, who was born in Italy, the daughter of Pasquale Albera, a manufacturer of Oakland, in which city Mrs. Daniels attended school. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels are the parents of one daughter, Marian Clair. Mr. Daniels is a member of Stockton Parlor No. 7, N.S.G.W., and of Truth Lodge No. 11, I.O.O.F. The family reside in their comfortable home at 1029 West Park Street, which Mr. Daniels erected about six years ago. Fond of hunting and fishing, he finds his greatest recreation in these sports in the High Sierras.
