Biographical / Historical
Daniel Lea Yocom was born in Vinton, Iowa on May 28, 1884 the son of Neal H. (1859-1909) and Mary Louise Macy (1860-1923). He met Pearl Clemana Nichols (1886-1982) in Belle Plain, Iowa and the two were married in Juneau, Wis. on December 1, 1908. The couple established a photography studio in Blairstown, Iowa before moving their business to Omaha (1917) and Fremont (1920), Neb. By 1923, the Fremont Studio had been taken over by Daniel Yocom's brothers: Ralph Gerald (1885-1962) and Neal Ross Yocum (1889-1940).
