(December 15, 1815 — December 11, 1889) Atwood was a printer, publisher, businessman, and politician. David Atwood was born in Bedford, New Hampshire, and lived in New York and Illinois before moving to Wisconsin in 1847. In his early career, he apprenticed as a printer and became the publisher of a publication in New York. Agricultural pursuits took Atwood to Illinois, where he worked for two years before moving to Wisconsin. While in Wisconsin, Atwood worked as the editor of the State Journal for forty-two years. He also served as a member of the State Assembly (1861), United States Assessor, and Mayor of Madison, Wisconsin from 1868 to 1869.
