Daniel L. Domire, son of Frederick Domire, was born in 1834, at
Limestone, on "Old Andra." In 1858 he married Susan Spesert, of
Horse Shoe Run. Children: Margaret E., Mary Isabel, Edna Agnes and
Sarah Alice. When he was 6 years old his father moved to Horse Shoe
Run, and has since lived there. D. L. Domire was brought up on the
farm principally; but, his inclination drew him toward mechanical
pursuits, and he gave considerable attention to the carpenter
trade. He also taught school twelve years on Horse Shoe Run, and
from time to time engaged to some extent in the lumber business.
His chief connection in this was in the "Domire Shingle Mill," in
which he was partner. The mill would average 1,000,000 shingles a
year, when steadily attended to. He owns 103 acres of land, one-
half mile from the Leadmine post-office, on Laurel Run. He pays
considerable attention to bee raising, and well understands the
business. He helped build the first house that was built in St.
George after the town was laid out. It was the "St. George Inn,"
and built in 1859. The same year he helped build the M. E. Church
South, in St. George. At that time Jesse Parsons was sheriff, and
Domire wrote all his tax receipts; he has several times been member
of the board of education.
