My Family Tree

James Herrick CHATFIELD, son of Isaac's uncle, moved to Littleton in 1870. J.H. conducted business in real estate loans and his office was located in downtown Littleton at 416 Main St. He was also the secretary of the Cemetery Association, which met weekly. J.H.'s residence was listed as 458 Main St. in the 1905 Littleton City Directory. He and his wife, Anna, had three children: Ruth (died at age nine), Edward and Nellie. J.H. Chatfield died in April, 1919.

James waited seven years before remarrying, and when he did, he married his sixth cousin, Mary Elmina Dickinson, the daughter of Walter Dickinson and Emma "Elmina/Almira" Chatfield. The couple exchanged vows in October 1892. The second marriage brought with it another child.

"[Obituary] April 25, 1919: James Herrick Chatfield was born August 16, 1851, in Summit Ohio. He resided in Ohio and later in Illinois until 1879 when he and his family moved to Colorado, settling at once in Littleton. In 1872 he was married to Annie Mary Brazier; to this union were born three children. Ruth, who died at the age of nine years; Edward, of Sulphur Springs; and Nellie, Mrs. Driver, of Hoquiam, Washington. His wife died in 1889 at the home in Littleton. Mr. Chatfield married Mary Elmina Dickinson in 1892, and to them was born one daughter, Elmina. Just last December Mrs. Chatfield passed away. Since then, Mr. Chatfield has been with his daughter in Hoquiam [Washington], being rapidly improved at first over his previous weak condition, but sinking fast during the past month. Mr. Chatfield has always been a staunch Christian and worker in the church. For many years he has been a trustee of the Littleton Presbyterian Church. Because of this, he will be greatly missed. The funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian Church next Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. (Littleton Independent)"
