BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Salem Howe Wales was a journalist, politician, and philanthropist.  Born in Wales, MA on October 4, 1825, he attended the Academy of Attica in New York.  In 1846, Wales began his career as a clerk in a New York importing house.  From 1848 to 1871 he served as managing editor of Scientific American.  Wales was a commissioner to the Paris Exposition (1855), a member of the executive committee of the Christian Commission during the Civil War era, and a member of the Union League Club.  In 1873 he became President of the New York City Department of Parks and in 1874 ran as the Republican candidate for mayor of the city.  From 1874 to 1876, Wales served as President of the Department of Docks; he was the New York City Park Commissioner from 1880 to 1885.  Wales was a founder and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Director of the National Bank of North America.  He married Frances Elizabeth Johnson on February 12, 1851 and they had two children; he was the grandfather of Mrs. Henry Francis du Pont.
