From "Memoirs of Lucas County and the City of Toledo, from the earliest historical times down to the present, including a genealogical and biographical record of reprsentative families, Volume II. Harvey Scribner, Editor-in-Chief. Madison, Wisconsin : Western Historical Assn., 1910:
Daniel Dunscomb deceased who for nearly thirty years was an active business man of Toledo was born in Nuremberg Germany March 5 1850. His paternal grandparents were English, his grandfather being the owner of many vessels and at one time served as governor of Newfoundland. Edward Dunscomb the father of Daniel graduated at Columbia College and afterward studied medicine. He then went to Bermuda where he was married. He afterward returned to New York where he engaged in business as an importer of tea sugar and molasses. Some years later he took his family to Germany and while there in the city of Nuremberg the son Daniel was born and there also the mother died. The subject of this memoir was the youngest of seven children, four boys and three girls, five of whom are now living as follows. Mary is now Mrs lbbotson and resides at Richfield Springs NY. Frances is Mrs Darling of New York City. Katharine is Mrs Colt who also resides in New York City. John is a resident of the same metropolis and Edward is a physician engaged in the practice of his profession at Midas Nev. After completing his education Daniel Dunscomb began his independent career as a traveling representative for the Sawyer Blueing Company of New York City in which capacity he remained for about six years. He then embarked in business for himself under the firm name of Dunscomb Sheldon & Company at New York City where the members of the firm engaged as wholesalers of blueing and woodenware. This association continued until 1880 when Mr Dunscomb came to Toledo and purchased the establishment of I.N. Poe & Company, dealers in woodenware and willowware at 28 Summit Street. The name of the firm was then changed to Dunscomb Newell & Company and that arrangement continued until 1884 when Mr Dunscomb purchased the interest of Mr Newell in the business and the firm name became Dunscomb & Company, the establishment being removed to 516 Summit street. The line carried by the firm included toys and woodenware but in 1890 the woodenware and willowware lines were dropped and Mr Dunscomb then engaged extensively in sporting goods, stationery, and holiday novelties and at about the same time he removed the establishment to 414 416 418 Summit street. On March 1 1909 he sold the concern to Brown Eager Hull & Company and retired from that line of business. His disposition was energetic and in all the business he engaged in he was active and of the hustling class. In 1892 he became connected with the Toledo Baby Carriage Company and for three years was identified with its successful management. His death occurred July 30 1909. While never a member of any religious denomination his attendance at the Presbyterian church was regular and he contributed to the support of all Christian causes. Politically he was an ardent Republican but he never held nor aspired to hold any public office, his time being taken up with his business interests though he took a great interest in the public welfare. Mr Dunscomb was married twice, first on May 5 1890 to Miss Mary T Lamb daughter of John and Josephine Girard Lamb of Toledo, though originally natives of Belgium. The first wife died Sept 6 1907 and the second marriage, which occurred May 14 1908 was to Miss Madalene A Lamb, daughter of John and Margaret Arnold Lamb who reside near the city of Defiance in Paulding County, Ohio, where the father is engaged in the line of agriculture. Of this union there was born a daughter Mary Lamb Dunscomb born Feb 3 1909. The widow and child reside in the Dunscomb Apartments at 713 Superior Street Toledo.
