  DANIEL W. GRANT, who is interested, with his son, George H. Grant,
in the Grant Greenhouses, located at No.915 Woodbury Avenue, 
Portsmouth, N. H., was born at Tuftonboro, Carroll County, N. H., June 
17, 1845, a son of Daniel and Patience (Lord) Grant. The father, Daniel 
Grant, a native of Stratham, N. H., was in early life a carpenter but 
later engaged in farming, which occupation he followed to the close of 
his life. His wife, the mother mof our subject, was from Ossipee, N. H. 
Both have passed away and are buried in Tuftonboro. Their family

  Daniel W. Grant's literary education was confined to attendance at 
the common schools, which he attended only during the winter months, at 
other times and during the vacations being kept busy on his parents' 
farm. He subsequently learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed 
for twenty-five years, after which he worked five years in a glove 
factory as cutter. He then engaged in his present business as 
greenhouse man, in which he has been very successful. The business is 
now actively managed and controlled by his son, George H. Grant, 
although Daniel W. Grant still retains his interest in the business. 
They have about fifteen acres of land, with six houses under glass, the 
principal greenhouse products being tomatoes and cucumbers, the most of 
which are shipped to Boston. Employment is given to four hands. In 
politics- Daniel W. Grant is a republican but occasionally casts an 
independent vote in local affairs. His fraternal affilliations are with
the Masonic order.

Mitchell, and has a son, Ernest; Bertha E. ; and George H., who married
