s/o David Atwood and Mary (Bell) Atwood; h/o Margaret Ann Barr
In early life, Daniel Gordon Atwood was employed in a bobbin factory and later became engaged in the manufacture of cider. From the beginning of his career, agriculture was more to his liking, and accordingly became his principal occupation. Mr. Atwood followed it with prosperous results, and he labored persistently and energetically, not only to win success for himself, but to make his life a source of benefit to his fellow-men.
His heart was ever in sympathy with the sorrows of the unfortunate and his hand was ever ready to contribute to the alleviation of those in distress. Mr. Atwood was indeed a pattern of generosity, charity and affection to all who were thrown in contact with him, and taken from every angle he was a man of the most sterling quality. Unlike the majority of his fellow-townsmen, Mr. Atwood did not confine his sole attention and time to his own business interests, but was more or less active in civic affairs, serving with ability as a selectman for two years.
On May 2, 1837, Daniel Gordon Atwood was united in marriage with Margaret Ann Barr, who was born March 24, 1815, the daughter of Thomas and Abigail (Palmer) Barr, of Bedford, New Hampshire. She died August 16, 1887, having reared six children:
1) Eliza Morrison, who was born December 9, 1838, wife of Noah Smith Clark, of Manchester.
2) Caroline, born February 1, 1841, wife of Hazen K. Fuller, and they removed to Florida in 1878.
3) Julia Ann, born January 10, 1844, wife of Leonard Bursiel.
4) Daniel Webster, born June 25, 1846, husband of Surviah H. Parkhurst.
5) Clara, born September 6, 1850, wife of Bushrod W. Mann.
6) Thomas Byron, born February 5, 1853.
