Daniel J. Morrell

He served as chairman of the United States House Committee on Manufactures during the Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses.

Its property included the South Fork Dam and its large reservoir, which the club named Lake Conemaugh.

He repeatedly brought up the issue of dam safety to club officials, especially to co-founder, Benjamin Franklin Ruff.

His offer to make needed repairs, partially at his own expense, was rejected by club president, Benjamin F. Ruff.

His membership was bought by his colleague, Cyrus Elder, who was legal counsel for the Cambria Iron and Steel Company.

Morrell was again engaged in banking and died on August 20, 1885, in Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
