David John Marlais Daniel (12 January 1903 – 5 February 1962) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Daniel was born at Rockhampton, Queensland, the son of Owen Daniel and his wife Sarah Ann (née Jenkins). He was educated at Rockhampton State School and then attended the Rockhampton Grammar School before owning a tobacco shop in that city.[1] On 19 January 1927, he married Julia Augusta Nelson and together had two sons.[1] He died at his home in Rockhampton in February 1962.[1]
Daniel, a Country Party representative, won the 1936 by-election for the seat of Keppel in the Queensland Legislative Assembly, taking it over from his father, Owen Daniel, who had died in February of that year.[2] David Daniel went on to represent the electorate until his retirement at the 1944 Queensland state election.[1]
