Robin, this site has very little on Daniel Coxon, beyond the fact that he was aged 59 and was going to Merrill.
You may find an answer in a local paper from 1912. These often have little stories about local identies who were not covered by the big city papers. Popcorn Dan might have been a colourful character who attracted attention.

dan was known as popcorn dan, he got the nickname because he used to set up his popcorn stand at different public gathering. dan only had 1 arm, and he was a care taker in Merrill, Wi. and he live in Scott's Mansion. you can read about it on the web. |
