s/o Daniel Gordon Atwood and Margaret Ann (Barr) Atwood; h/o Surviah H. Parkhurst
Daniel Webster, forth child and eldest son of Daniel G. and Maragaret A. (Barr) Atwood, was born in the house where he now resides, June 25, 1846. He attended the public schools, including the high school, and prior to leaving the paternal roof acquired a good knowledge of general farming, which later proved the most valuable legacy left him by his father.
When a young man he drove a milk team from Bedford to Manchester for a time, and in 1873 went to Northfield, Vermont, where he was employed in a saw mill about three years. He also resided in Milford, N.H. for a period, but eventually returned and during his father's declining years managed the farm, which he inherited in turn. This property, which is desirable located and exceedingly productive, he carries on with the same spirit of energy as that displayed by his ancestors, and as a result of his efforts are eminently satisfactory. He has made numerous improvements including the remodeling of his residence and the erection of a new and commodious barn.
For a period of six years served the town with ability as supervisor of the check-list.
On June 15, 1874, Mr. Atwood was united in marriage with Miss Surviah H. Parkhurst, born April 1, 1847, a daughter of Proctor and Sally Jane (Gage) Parkhurst, of Merrimack. The children of this union are: George Byron, born July 17, 1876; died Oct. 15, 1878. Gordon Proctor, born June 27, 1878.
