   Daniel Van Tuyl - one of the most remarkable men among the early settlers of Cass County, was "Uncle Dan" Van Tuyl. He was born in New Jersey March 13,1796. His father died in his youth and with his mother he moved to Pennsylvania, and then about 1816 he moved to Geauga County, Ohio, and in the fall of 1835 he came to Cass County and settled on the farm now owned by Henry Hanson, in Jefferson. He left six children to cherish the memory of a truly remarkable man.  He was nearly 84 years of age, and had never tasted liquor or used tobacco in any shape in his long life. Another commendable habit, from which he never varied, was always to pay his debts either before or at the time they were due. His death occurred January 20,1880.

   Daniel Van Tuyl of Jefferson Township was 78 when he signed Cass County Pioneer Society Constitution in 1874. He came to Cass County in 1835.

  Among the early residents can be counted Daniel Van Tuyl, who was born in New Jersey, and moved from there to Lake County, and from there here, his method of locomotion being by horse team. Accompanied by his family of four children, July 26 he arrived in Edwardsburg, and occupied a schoolhouse until he purchased eighty acres of Abner Tharp, in Section 27. He departed this life January 20,1880, aged eighty-four years. With him, his word was considered as good as his bond.  

  Daniel and Hannah, Aaron's brother and wife and all of Aaron’s children sold a piece of Abraham’s land in Morris County NJ. Land Transaction Dated October 9, 1848. Signed by Daniel & Hannah Van Tuyl, Elizabeth Roberts, Hannah & Samuel Miller, Sarah & Milton Robbins, Richard Van Tuyl.

A very brief obituary which ran in the local weekly paper, "The Cassopolis Vigilant."  It said:  "Mr. Daniel Van Tuyl of Jefferson, died today from the effect of a severe cold.  He suffered a great deal from choking.  Funeral Thursday."
