Afte r their marriage, Daniel and Susannah joined the United Brethren Churc h in 1842. They had a farm of 80 acres in section 2 of Flat Rock Towns hip in Bartholomew County that year, eventually owning 133 acres. On F ebruary 14, 1847, Daniel Query sold 90 acres and began a move west wit h his brother Hardin. Their intent was to go to California, but the y stopped in Morgan Township, Owen County, Indiana. Daniel purchase d 100 acres there on January 1, 1848. It was the site of the town o f Atkinsonville, where he later owned a general store. Family traditi on says that he hauled his stock of goods overland from Louisville, Ke ntucky. Daniel enlisted in the Union Army, Jackson Township Militia , in 1862 along with son Miles and brother Harden. According to Arthu r C Query, "they lived in a two room log cabin on a hill west of Atkin sonville (the property is now a state forest preserve). Near the cabi n was Rattlesnale Creek. There was a spring at the foot of the hill a nd a cistern up near his house. Daniel's barn was across the road fro m the cabin." In 1862, Daniel and Susannah joined the Methodist Episc opal Church. Daniel taught Sunday School there and kissed everyone a s they came in ( "no doubt a holy kiss"). Daniel went blind 10 years b efore passing away, on December 17, 1901 at Atkinsonville. Although t hey owned over 400 acres at one time in Owen County, after Daniel's es tate was settled, only $70 was left for his heirs. Susannah died o n August 6, 1913 at Atkinsonville. Both are buried in the Pleasant Gr ove cemetery near that village, however she has no tombstone. Danie l and Susannah kept a log of their family's birth, deaths and marriage s in a family bible. According to Melba Huber Haltom in "The Query's i n America", Daniel would prepare a new bible, in very nice script, an d give it as a gift to each of his children upon their marriage. Copi es of pages from one of these bibles are available in "The Query's i n America" by Melba Huber Haltom. DEATH: Arthur Query relates this s tory that he got from his interviews with Clara Mugg. "Daniel had hi s knees drawn up and a sparrow flew in and landed on his knee a few da ys before he died. Mrs. Mugg also said Daniel claimed he heard music n ot long before he died."
