Daniel Denison Slade (1823-1896) was born in Boston to Jacob Tilton Slade and Elizabeth Rogers. After his mother's death, he was raised by his uncle Henry Bromfield Rogers, who sent him to school in Waltham when he was ten and later to Northborough, where he lived in the charge of Rev. Joseph Allen. After graduating from Harvard Medical School, he continued his studies in Europe. Upon his return to Boston, he opened his own practice and regularly published articles and essays on medical and veterinary subjects. He also maintained a strong interest in horticulture and zoology and eventually went on to study and teach both. He married Mina Louise Hensler in 1856 and fathered twelve children. He died in 1896 in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
