Lewis Gaylord And Willis Gaylord Clark, American journalists, twin brothers, born at Otisco, Onondaga co., N. Y., in 1810. In 1834 Lewis became editor of the "Knickerbocker" magazine, which had been founded two years before under the charge of Charles Fenno Hoffman, and continued to be its editor for about 25 years, until just before its discontinuance. During this period he wrote the "Editor's Table" and the "Gossip with Readers and Correspondents," which formed special features of the magazine. In 1852 he published "Knick-Knacks from an Editor's Table;" and in 1855 some of the contributors to the magazine issued for his benefit a volume made up from their contributions, entitled "The Knickerbocker Gallery." He died at Piermont, N. Y., Nov. 3, 1873, where he had resided many years. - Willis, his brother, died in 1841. At the age of 20 he went to Philadelphia, where he engaged in literary enterprises, and at the time of his death was proprietor and editor of the "Philadelphia Gazette." He had furnished to the "Knickerbocker " a series of contributions under the title of "Ollapodiana," which with others of his works were collected and published in 1844, and again in 1847.
