Inventor, artist and astronomer. He occupies a high position among distinguished men in both hemispheres. Was born among the hills in Ashfield, Mass. Nature designed him for a great artist, and in the development of his native talents, nature's design was not frustrated. Schools did but little to bring to light his inherent powers. The common school of a sparsely populated district was all the seminary of learning that ever opened its portals to him; yet such has been his perseverance, and his personal effort in art and in science, that our colleges have conferred on him high degrees of honor in consideration of his great attainments, and crowned heads in the old world have recognized his superiority as the greatest telescope maker of the age. The steps by which he ascended to his hig position in art may be seen in the following summary of events in his life. In 1821, commenced copper-plate engraving, and soon after, miniature and portriat painting. In 1826-27 engraving for calico printing at Lowell, Mass. From 1827 to 1829, engraving at Providence, R.I. From 1829 to 1832 engraving, and painting miniatures, in New York. 1832 - 35 at Fall River. 1835 - 36, painted minatures in Boston. Settled in Cambridge, Mass., 1836, but kept open a studio in Boston unitl 1860. Meanwhile (commencing in 1845) he engaged with his son George in the working of lenses for telescopes, first reflectors, but afterwards refactos, the latter a very difficult thing, but with success. From 1852 to 1860 discovered twenty new double stars. In 1859 went to England, by initataion of Rev. W. R. Dawes, a distinguished astronomer, of Haddenham, Thame. In the observatory of Mr. Dawes with one of his own telescopes, discovered five new double stars, among them 99 Herculis. From that time until now (1883) he and his sons have been engaged i the Dearbor! n tower at Chicago, with which his son Alvan G. discovered teh companion of Sirius; another is mounted in the Naval Observatory at Washington, D.C., with which Prof. Hall discovered the satellites of Mars. But their last great work is the 30 inch objec glass made for the government of Russia on the order of Dr. Otto Struve, the Royal Astronomer. Although Mr. Clark has attained his greatest distinction in the field of art, yeat as an astronomer he ranks high. He gleaned the northern heavens, which had been minutely harvested by the Struves, and the result was the discovery, by himself and his son Alvan G., of some 40 new double stars, and among them the compainon of Sirius. He invented a new micrometer, an instrument of great value to astronomers, and by means of an invention of his own has compared the magnitude of a Lyrae with our sun, arriving at a result that will give him rank among standard astronomers and mathematicians.

Published by The Town of Buckland, Buckland, Mass. 1937. p. 502 In 1773 he moved to that part of Charlemont afterwards Buckland. In 1796 he was sent to the Governor's Council; a useful and honored man whose influence was a great factor in shaping the early destinies of Buckland. He owned and operated a gristmill for a short time but the greater part of life was spent as a farmer. Was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Genealogy Records of the Descendants of David Johnson of Leominster, Mass., Compiled by Rev. William W. Johnson, Printed by Godfrey & Crandall, Milwaukee, Wisc., 1876. p. 6. He resided in Leominster, Mass., until 1773, when he emigrated to Charlemont, Mass., where he purchased land. The deed was given by Jonathan White of Leominster, and Joseph Wilder, of Lancaster, on the 15th day of December, in the 13th year of His Majesty's reign, A.D. 1773. The description of the is as follows: "One hundred acres of land, in Charlemont, in the county of Hampshire, in the southeast part of said town, on the south line of which it is bounded south; on the north it is bounded by Mr. Taylor's farm; on the east it is bounded on the public land; on the west it is bounded on Mr. Taylor's other farm, or the farm called Clesson's farm." It would be difficult, I think, for a surveyor, from this description, to find that land now. When Buckland was incorporated in 1778, this land was included in that town. He owned a grist mill for a short time in the north part of the town, but the greater part of his life was spent in farming. He contributed largely of his influence in shaping the character of the new town, and was a prominent man, not only in civil affairs, but also in the church. Lt.

His uncle Samuel, aunt Mary (widow of Zenas) and cousin Obed were also living in Ashfield. Samuel and Obed were also farming. Daniel was working in manufacturing (presumably blacksmithing) in Florida in Berkshire County to the west of Ashfield. Around 1829 Daniel's cousin Alfred, who was determined insane, murdered a man in Ashfield and was committed to a mental hospital, where he apparently lived in a cage with handcuffs and chains. (Alfred Elmer probate file no. 1496, Franklin County Family and Probate Court, Greenfield, MA 01302) In 1850 Daniel and Electa were living in Conway, Massachusetts. At 63 years old, he was no longer working, but his four youngest sons (ages 16-29) were living at home and all working as cabinetmakers. Daniel and Electa had been married close to 50 years when she died. About four years later, when Daniel was 71 years old, he married Betsey, a 66-year-old spinster from Ashfield. Five weeks later Betsey died of a stroke. Eight months later he married again, this time to Nancy Hill, another Ashfield spinster, but younger. Nancy was 55. They lived in Ashfield, where Daniel was still farming in his 70s. In 1860 his real estate was worth $700, his personal property $165. Elmer - Elmore Genealogy.
