Obituary
EASTON, Conn. – John Farquhar Chatfield Jr., a longtime Easton resident, died Dec. 24 at Yale-New Haven Hospital, surrounded by family. He was 92.

He moved to Easton in 1933. He graduated from Bassick High School in 1939 and Syracuse University in 1944.

He met and married Priscilla Anne Noyes at Syracuse University.

A World War II veteran, Chatfield served in the Navy from 1942 to 1945. He was stationed in the Pacific and participated in the invasion of Okinawa.

After the war, Chatfield became associated with Chatfield Insurance Agency in Bridgeport before expanding into real estate. He also received a patent for the water drill, a hydraulic-operated fire-extinguishing drill.

Chatfield also served as a volunteer firefighter for decades and was president of the Easton Volunteer Fire Company during its 50th anniversary year in 1971.

He was an original member with the Easton Ambulance Association, a member of various Masonic organizations and was past master of Aspetuck Lodge 142 in Easton.

Chatfield served on the vestry of Christ Church in Easton, where he engineered the construction of the church pond. He also lived in Redding for 10 years and was active with the Republican Town Committee there.

In later years, he volunteered with the Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Program and was a member of the Fairfield County Beaglers, Fayerweather Yacht Club, the Society of Mayflower Descendants and various historical societies.

He is survived by his wife of 68 years; a daughter, Priscilla Anne (Stephen) Anderson, of Eliot, Maine; two sons, John Farquhar (Beverley) Chatfield III, of Ridgewood, N.J., and Joel Alden Chatfield, of New York City; and five grandchildren.

He was predeceased by two sisters, Marcia C. Smith and Mary Elizabeth Dotter.

John Farquhar Chatfield II and Priscilla Ann Noyes were married in 1944 in Easton, Washington Co., New York, USA. Priscilla Ann Noyes, daughter of Berton Frank Noyes and Claire Jackson, was born on 19 March 1924 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. She lived in Trumbull, Fairfield Co., Connecticut, USA on 4 April 2007. She died on 7 July 2017 at the age of 93 in Easton, Washington Co., New York, USA. Priscilla Anne Chatfield, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, died peacefully on July 7, 2017, surrounded by her family at home. She was 93 years old and a long-time resident of Easton. Mrs. Chatfield was born on March 19, 1924 in Brooklyn, the only child of Berton Frank Noyes and Claire Jackson Noyes. Priscilla spent her childhood years in Hastings, Nebraska where her parents were college teachers. Priscilla graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn and magna cum laude from Syracuse University, Class of 1945, with degrees in Speech and Drama. While at Syracuse, she was a member of Sigma Kappa sorority. Priscilla met John Farquhar Chatfield, Jr. at Syracuse University, and they were married in Easton in 1944. They were blessed to share over 68 years of marriage until John's death.
Priscilla was active in a variety of Easton organizations, from being a Brownie leader to President of the Friends of the Easton Public Library. She was an active member of the Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County and contributed her talents to the Episcopal Church in many ways during the time her children were growing up. Priscilla's early years in Easton were centered on her family. Following those formative years, Priscilla spent two decades as an Analyst for Aetna Life and Casualty. She and her family lived in Redding for several years before returning to Easton, where they remained in the same home for 50 years.
Classical music was an interest of Priscilla's throughout her life. She fulfilled that interest by participating in the choir at Trinity Church in Southport for many years. She also sang with the Fairfield County Chorale. In retirement, she and John loved sailing out of the Fayerweather Yacht Club and were members of the Fairfield County Beaglers.
Priscilla appreciated her family's Connecticut legacy. A descendant of the earliest settlers of Stonington, she learned the history and stories of her family during annual summer visits to Groton Long Point as a child. She enriched her knowledge of that legacy through her involvement with the Connecticut Ancestry Society, where she was an Emerita Board Member, and the Connecticut Professional Genealogists Council. Several of her genealogical research articles were accepted for publication. Her skills offered her an opportunity to contribute to the Fairfield Historical Society as a volunteer researcher. Priscilla also was a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants and New England Historical Genealogical Society. Other interests included the Historical Society of Easton, where Priscilla was active during the restoration of the Bradley-Hubbell Homestead. She was involved in transcribing the original manuscript, "The Aspetuc Chronicles" by John Dimon Bradley, which was published to mark the occasion.
Priscilla is survived by her daughter Priscilla Anne Anderson (Stephen) of Eliot, ME, two sons John Farquhar Chatfield, III (Beverley) of Ridgewood, NJ, Joel Alden Chatfield of New York, NY and five grandchildren Jennifer Kristin Anderson, Jeffrey Chatfield Anderson, Katherine Amelia Chatfield, Victoria Elizabeth Chatfield, Tyler Christopher Chatfield, and one great-grandson Peter Shanley Bellinger.

Funeral services for Mrs. Chatfield will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, Southport, on Saturday July 15, 2017 at 11:00. Burial will be private. The family respectfully requests that any gifts in Priscilla's memory be directed to Music Under the Spire at Trinity Church, P.O. Box 400, Southport, CT 06890.
