Biography
Daniel Jewett is Notable.
Daniel Jewett graduated from Columbia College in New York in 1830 and from the Harvard Law School. He was admitted to the bar and practiced in Bangor, Maine. He was city solicitor there from 1834 to 1837. From 1850 to 1853 he worked with his brother in operating a steamboat line on the Chagres River, Isthmus of Panama. He moved to California and engaged in gold mining for two years, after which he returned to Bangor and practiced law.
In 1857 he moved to St. Louis, Missouri and continued the practice of law. In 1866 he was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives. Daniel was appointed as a Republican to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles D. Drake and served from December 19, 1870, to January 20, 1871. When a successor was to be elected, he declined to be a candidate and resumed the practice of law.
