Fred Harris Daniels (June 16, 1853 – August 31, 1913) was an American engineer and corporate director.
Life
Daniels was born in Hanover Center, New Hampshire on June 16, 1853, the son of William Pomerory Daniels, a lumber merchant and contractor.[1][2] He came to Worcester at the age of one year. In 1873 he graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and was employed by Washburn and Moen Company. Around 1875-1876 they sent him to Philadelphia to study steel-making, hoping to improve their steel quality. Daniels traveled extensively in Europe in 1877, studying steel production; soon after returning he went to Germany for additional study.
He married Sarah L. White in 1883, and they had three children.[1]
After holding various jobs at Washburn and Moen, Daniels became general superintendent in 1888. Daniels had 151 patents relating to steel furnaces and rolling mills. He was awarded a gold medal at the Paris Exposition of 1900. King Gustaf of Sweden made him Knight of the Royal Order of the North Star.[1]
Daniels was director of the US Steel Company and the US Envelope Company, president of Washburn and Moen (1907-1913), director of the Norton Company, Norton Grinding Company and the Mechanics National Bank of Worcester.[3]
He died at his home in Worcester, Massachusetts on August 31, 1913.[3][4]
In 1949, Daniels' three sons formed The Fred Harris Daniels Foundation, a private grant-making foundation focusing on Worcester County in Massachusetts, in memory of their father.
