An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, page 331 DANIEL KELLEHER, one of the active and able young lawyers of the Seattle bar, was born on a farm near Middleborough, Massachusetts, February 5, 1864. In early life young Kelleher learned to appreciate the advantages of an education, and, to prepare himself for his professional career, after passing through the public and high school at Bridgewater. Massachusetts, he entered Harvard College, graduating at that institution in 1885, with high honors. He then went to Syracuse, New York, as private tutor in fitting young men for entrance to Harvard College, and at the same time followed a line of legal study in the office of Tracy, McLennan & Ayling. Mr. Kelleher was duly admitted to practice in the courts of New York State, and was then engaged in his profession at Syracuse until in March, 1890. In that year he came to Seattle, Washington, and immediately began practice with G. Meade Emory, subsequently organizing the law firm of Bausman, Kelleher & Emory, which is well and favorably known through the Northwest. Mr. Kelleher is a careful observer and a close student, and for this reason is rapidly forging to the front in his profession, and has already built up a very lucrative practice. While devoted to his profession, he also takes an active interest in Democratic politics of the State. In the fall of 1892 he was honored with the nomination for Superior Judge of King county. The county is decidedly Republican, but Mr. Kelleher received the vote of his party, and was also complimented by many votes from his Republican friends, though the total number was insufficient to elect him. Mr. Kelleher is unmarried, and is a member of no orders, but is following a line of thought, study and research, which, will ultimately place him in the front rank in his profession.
