Stamford Manufacturing Company, the
house presented him a beautiful gold
watch and chain bearing his monogram
and the following inscription : "Presented
to Henry Ellsworth Scofield by The
Stamford Manufacturing Company in
recognition of his fifty years of faithful
service and constant devotion to this com-
pany, December, 1895."
The other business activities of Mr.
Scofield included his work as one of the
organizers of the Cove Transportation
Company and his service afterward as its
vice-president. He was also one of the
founders of the Spring Grove Cemetery
and a member of its board of trustees,
and the Fidelity Title and Trust Company
numbered him among its original
stockholders.
Mr. Scofield married, March 18, 1855,
Lois Amelia Holly, whose ancestral record
is appended to this biography, and
they were the parents of one daughter,
Mary Louise Scofield. Miss Scofield is
corresponding secretary of the Stamford
Historical Society, and belongs to the
Ladies' Club, the Schubert Club, the La-
dies' Auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian
Association, and the Young Women's
Christian Association. She is also a member
of the Stamford Hospital Aid, and
a Daughter of the American Revolution.
Miss Scofield is an Episcopalian, being
a member of St. John's Protestant Episcopal
Church.
On January 17, 1903, Mr. Scofield
passed away, rich not in material wealth
alone, but also in the far more precious
endowment of the honor and esteem of his
entire community and in the warm affec-
tion of those friends whom he had ad-
mitted to the inner circle of his intimacy.
It is now many years since Henry Ellsworth
Scofield "ceased from earth," but
he still lives among us by the force of his
example and the continuance of his work.
