Henry John Daniels (8 March 1850 – 13 June 1934) was a selector and member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Daniels was born in Bethnal Green, London, to parents Samuel Daniels and his wife Charlotte (née Hood). and was educated in London before he arrived in Australia in 1861.[1] After working in the tin mines at Stanthorpe from 1872 - 1874 he selected property at the Clifton Homestead Region, Mt Kent, Darling Downs in 1877. After selecting a large grazing farm at Gindie, in 1895 he transferred his leases in 1904 and moved to Brisbane, where he lived the rest of his life.[1]
Having been a member of the Queensland Shearers' Union, Daniels, for the Labour Party, represented the seat of Cambooya in the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1893 until his defeat in 1899.[1]
He was involved in a scandal in 1902 involving the construction and maintenance of a railway line from Normanton to Cloncurry. His involvement was never proven but it may have hurt his chances at re-election.[1]
In 1874, Daniels married Susannah Patterson (died 1901)[2] and together had three sons and three daughters.[1] After Susannah's death, he married Alice Chalmers and had two more children.[1]
He died on 12 June 1934 at Dunwich Benevolent Asylum[1] and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.[3]
