Daniel Hall was named in honor of Jeannette Snead Daniel, the daughter of the founder of Fork Union Military Academy. She was a native of Fulvanna County, Virginia. When Jeannette Snead was a member of the faculty in 1885-86, she met Walter Eugene Daniel who frequently visited his sister, Lillian, a student at Chowan. As the visits increased. Professor Snead spent much time with the young lawyer from nearby Weldon, NC, who would become a senator in later years. The day soon came when he asked the young professor for her “hand in marriage.” In order to have time to consider the proposal, Miss Snead informed Mr. Daniel that she would give her answer during her new faculty music recital. She told him that she would be wearing a white flower when she appeared on stage for her recital if she had decided to decline his pro posal. Young Walter Daniel, who was always called “Mr. Daniel” by Jeannette, was the happiest man in the auditorium when his bride-to-be appeared on stage carrying a beautiful, long-stem red rose. The Daniels had eight children. One of these children, Narcissa Bruce Daniel, married V. Carney Hargroves of Germantown, Pa., and the couple had three children: Emily, Narcissa, and Jeannette. Another of the eight children was Louis Daniel, of New Bern, who has served as a member of the Chowan Board of Trustees. Dr. Donald S. Daniel, of Richmond, a third child, served on the college’s Board of Advisors as did his son. Dr. Donald S. Daniel, Jr. Chowan Today USPS 715-880 ISSN 1051-9580 Herman W.
