"[Obituary] CHATFIELD — At Littleton. February 27, 1889, at 1:30 a.m. Mrs. Anna M., wife of Mr. James Chatfield. Aged 33 years, one month and sixteen days. Funeral services to be held tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 10:30 o'clock. The sermon will be preached by Rev. C.B. Allen of Deselms, Ills. All are invited to attend the services. "O, not in cruelty not in wrath, The reaper came that day, Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away." Mrs. Annie Mary Chatfield [Annie Mary Brazier] was born in Coville, Saratoga county, N.Y., and was the eldest daughter of a family of nine, (five daughters and four sons) by Mr. and Mrs. John Brazier, seven of which are now living. Her parents came to Illinois in 1868, where she grew to womanhood and was married to James H. Chatfield just three weeks before she was seventeen. She was the mother of three children, Ruth, Eddie, and Nellie. A sad bereavement from which she never fully recovered, happened a few years back in the death of her eldest daughter at the age of nine years. She was a faithful and loving mother and enjoyed a happy life, until the past two years when she was sorely afflicted with the dreaded lung trouble, and her husband, wishing to try the curative effects of higher altitudes, persuaded her to come to Littleton, arriving here about the first of last October, and here they have since resided. The lady has been a true and loyal member of the church ever since she was twelve years of age, and, although it seemed so hard to depart and leave behind a kind and loving husband and her beloved little ones, yet she became quite resigned; through her great faith, to submit to the Great and All Wise Father who had summoned her to enter the golden gate. "She knew she would find them all again, In the fields of light above." The sympathies of the entire community are with the bereaved husband and many a tear-drop given for the little ones who are yet too young to realize the depth of a mother's great and boundless love. "Angels of Life and Death alike are His; Without his leave they pass no threshold o'er. Who, then, would wish or dare, believing this, Against his messenger to shut the door?" (Unidentified news clipping from Kankakee, Illinois, found in Chatfield Bible)"
