Thomas/Charles Heber CHATFIELD (twin) 1878 - 1952 ========= Heber lived at home until his 19th year when he engaged in the butchering business with Egbert Warner and later established a profitable paying business in Beacon Falls, and when at the height of his prosperity no one in the town drove a better pair of trotters or sported a better gold watch and chain than he did. But alas for human frailty, like many others he could not stand prosperity, and the many dollars he once could lay claim to gradually slipped from his nerveless grasp. At the last friendless and almost an outcast, he was killed by a railroad train at a crossing in Beacon Falls several years ago. Source: Cheryl Chatfield Thompson ========= Obit from Seymour newspaper: HEBER CHATFIELD'S DEATH His head was bundled up and he didn't see train. The body of HEBER C. CHATFIELD, the man who was struck and killed by the 3:14 train out of Seymour, Friday afternoon, at Pines Bridge, was taken to Ward's morgue on Bank Street. Owing to repairs being made on the bridge at Beacon Falls, CHATFIELD, who was a teamster in the employ of the Beach Manufacturing Co. was obliged to drive to Pines Bridge to get to the depot. A steep hill leads down to the tracks and CHATFIELD, who wore a woolen cap over his ears, apparently did not hear the approaching train as he drove on the tracks. The wagon was struck squarely in the center and CHATFIELD, was thrown violently to the ground, the shock killing him, as the engine did not hit him. Dr. F.B. Tuttle, of Naugatuck, viewed the remains as they lay in the depot and gave permission for their removal to Seymour. Undertaker Ward was sent for and brought the body here. An examination of his person showed that the skull had been literally crushed and broken bones were innumerable." CHATFIELD was 49 years of age and had a wife and children in Ansonia, CT, with whom he had not lived for sometime. He also has a brother who resides on Chestnut Tree Hill. He was a member of Morning Star Lodge, F. & A.M. of this place, and at one time was quite well known to this vicinity. The spot where he was killed is quite dangerous when trains are coming from the north, but approaching from the opposite direction there seems little excuse for a failure to observe it unless, as in the case of CHATFIELD, the driver of a team is so bundled up that the sound is partially excluded. HEBER C. CHATFIELD, the victim of the grade crossing accident in Beacon Falls, Friday last, was a native and almost life long resident of Oxford. The funeral was held in Ansonia, Sunday afternoon. ========= Courtesy of Cheryl Chatfield Thompson
