son of Colonel James Foster Gates, of Vermont Militia.
Daniel Gates, whose early years were spent on his father's farm in Barnard, Vt., removed in early manhood to Ware, Mass., where he secured employment in the Otis Mills. He rose rapidly to the position of overseer of the finishing department of the cloth mill; and, shortly after the hosiery department was started, he was made overseer in the knitting-room, and was employed there for twenty-three years, making in all forty-six years with the Otis Company. He was a member of the Masonic Council, and a communicant of the Methodist Episcopal church. His connection with the latter lasted many years, and during a portion of that time he held the offices of Steward and Trustee
