DEATH CLAIMS YOUNG SON OF LES CHATFIELD
Stanford, 19, Is Dead In Vallejo; Graveside Rites in Colusa

Graveside services will be held Sunday afternoon for Stanford Chatfield 19, second oldest of the six children of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Chatfield of Vallejo, who died last night following a sudden illness.

Word of Stanford's death was telephoned last night from Vallejo to Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Chatfield of Colusa by the father, a brother of LeRoy Chatfield.

Stanford Chatfield lived in Colusa for a short time earlier this year, having been employed at the Colusa Airport. Previously he had served a short time in the merchant marine. His older brother, Junior CHATFIELD, 21, reportedly is on his way home from Alaska and may arrive in Vallejo in time for the funeral services there Sunday and the graveside rites to follow in Colusa.

THOSE WHO SURVIVE
There are four other surviving brothers and sisters, all of whom will come to Colusa with the bereaved parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie CHATFIELD, and Mr. and Mrs. M.L. Wilson of Oakland and Mr. and Mrs. William Flynn and family of San Jose to attend the graveside services.

Mrs. Leslie CHATFIELD, mother of Stanford, is the former Irene Wilson, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Wilson of Colusa and Vallejo and sister of Mrs. William Flynn of San Jose, the former Elaine Wilson and M.L. Wilson, onetime editor of the Colusa Herald.
