Death came to Mrs. Addie M. (Blackman) CHATFIELD, widow of the late Henry W. CHATFIELD, at her home in Woodbridge this morning, shortly before 4 o'clock, after an illness with nervous exhaustion, which confined her to her bed for the past nine weeks. During the past two days she was in an unconscious state. Although Mrs. Chatfield had not enjoyed good health since she suffered a severe attack of the grip six years ago, yet her condition did not appear to be serious until about a year ago. Since that tine she gradually failed until it was plainly realized she could not recover.

Mrs. Chatfield was born in Monroe, on October 28, 1843, and was the daughter of the late Isaac and Betsy (Morgan) Blackman. When but a small child she went with her parents to Ansonia to live. It was there that she received her education to the extent of preparing herself to be a school teacher. The family then went to Iowa, where Mrs. Chatfield taught school for a number of years.

On October 30, 1865, she was married to Henry W. Chatfield who died about three years ago. Immediately after their marriage they took up residence in Bethany, moving to Woodbridge about thirty-seven years ago into the handsome new house which Mr. Chatfield had built purposely for them to spend the remainder of their days in. Of the two sons born to them, H. Oliver Chatfield of Seymour alone survives. her other son, Dr. Rollin Chatfield of Granby died four years ago.

Besides her son she also leaves one brother, Elmer Blackman of Iowa, who came here about one month ago on account of his sister's illness and remained with her until the end came. Four grandchildren also survive her, Miss Marion H. Chatfield of Hartford, and Olive Rollina, Henrietta May and Henry Treat CHATFIELD, all of Seymour.

Mrs. Chatfield was a woman of exceptional quality and fine character. She was well known in Bethany, Woodbridge, Seymour and Ansonia, where she leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Chatfield was a member of the Congregational Church and had also been for many years a member of Sylvan Rebekah lodge of Seymour.

Chatfield Funeral Addie M. Blackman

The funeral of Mrs. Addie M. B. CHATFIELD, widow of the late Henry W. CHATFIELD, whose death occurred last Friday, was held from her late residence in Woodbridge yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. G.F. Abel, pastor of the Congregational church, officiated in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends, many of whom came from New Haven, West Haven, Ansonia, Bethany, Oxford and Seymour. A quartette composed of Misses Roetta Danbury and Marguerite Benedict, J.G. Johns and George Fryer, sang very impressively Mrs. Chatfield's favorite hymns entitled, "Lead Kindly Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee," with a piano accompaniment played very softy by Mrs. G.F. Abel.

The remains rested in a beautiful semi-couch casket covered with drab colored broadcloth and silver trimmings thereby carrying out Mrs. Chatfield's wish. The floral tributes were very beautiful and numerous including a large wreath from the employees in H.O. Chatfield's grocery store.

At the grave, the quartette sang "Asleep in Jesus." The pallbearers were nephews of Mrs. CHATFIELD, namely: Charles C. CHATFIELD, Russell CHATFIELD, Sterling Chatfield of New Haven, and Howard CHATFIELD, Jr. of Seymour. Interment was in the family plot in the Woodbridge [Northwest] cemetery.
