H.O. CHATFIELD DIES AT 82 IN SEYMOUR
SEYMOUR, Nov 14--Henry O. Chatfield, 82, president and founder of the Seymour Grain and Coal company, died yesterday at his home.
He collapsed in the backyard of his home and was pronounced dead of natural causes. He started a grocery and feed business in 1901 at Woodbridge. This firm was later moved here.
============
SEYMOUR COAL & GRAIN CO.
The history of this successful organization is in the main the story of the business career of its president and founder, Henry Oliver Chatfield, who was born in Bethany, April 28, 1876, son of Henry W. and Addie Blackman Chatfield. He lives at 47 Washington avenue.
First, he conducted a general store in Woodbridge for one year, after which he carried on a grocery business in the Buckingham building, Bank street, from August 1, 1901, under his own name, until 1919, when the Seymour Grain & Coal company was organized, and the business was moved to its present location, 88-102 Main street opposite the post office. Officers of this concern are the same today as when instituted under the new designation on Feb. 25, 1919, to wit: H.O. Chatfield, president; F.F. Herlihy, treasurer, and Miss Katherine O'Brien, secretary.
When the move to much larger quarters in Main street was made, the grocery department was dropped and coal was sold instead. Now this company does a thriving business in this commodity, grain, feed, and as agent for electric refrigerators and washing machines.
H.O. Chatfield married Mary H. Treat, of Oxford, Nov. 19, 1906, and now has five children: Olive R. (Mrs. Mac Bissell), born Feb. 9, 1908; Henrietta Maye (Mrs. Christian Drummer), born Sept. 1, 1911; Henry T., born Sept. 1, 1912; Horace Minotte, born May 4, 1917; and Harriet Emily, born Jan. 17, 1922. All but Harriet, still too young, have been graduated from the Seymour high school, and Henrietta got her diploma from the New Haven state normal school and taught in the public schools of Seymour until June, 1935, when she retired because of her marriage. Horace entered Wesleyan University as a freshman in September, 1935.
Henry T. Chatfield was graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1933, and is now affiliated with his father in business. On Dec. 12, 1934, he married Martha Divine, daughter of the late George A. Divine, for years first selectman of Seymour, and of Mrs. Martha Divine. On Nov. 7, 1935, a son, Henry Oliver, 2nd, was born to them.
H.O. Chatfield has belonged to Mechanics Lodge, No. 73, I.O.O.F., for 38 years, and to the Woodbridge Grange for 40 years. During his 35 years' residence here he has been progressive and civic minded, always keeping abreast of the times.
