Daniel de Marbelle (sometimes called Dion De Marbelle) worked on a whaling ship in the early 1800’s, then joined the American Navy and served during the Mexican War (1847). After that, he toured America as a musician and actor with an opera company, later organizing his own theatrical troupe. At the invitation of Bailey (of Barnum and Bailey fame), he became the very first circus clown. Later, he managed his own circus, but lost everything in a fire while touring Canada. Then, he helped Buffalo Bill Cody set up his famous Wild West Show. De Marbelle could play almost any instrument, and wrote many songs. He was a ventriloquist, organized a brass band, and sang in a Methodist choir in Elgin, Illinois. He also called the figures in local square dances. He claimed he could make an eloquent speech on any subject, without preparation! The royalties from all his songs were stolen from him, and he died penniless, near starvation.
