He retired from active mill work over forty years ago, and engaged in photography, in which he became expert, and this business was taken over by his son, Addison.

Manufacturer and Builder, Iviea This house still standsl inventive | He! was agreeable to aun. ‘When in .the employ of Babcock & Morse, Rouse Babcock and Jesse L. Morse, owners of the mills in White Rock, the Main stret mills, and the mills in Stillmanville, on the Westerly | side of the Pawcatuck river, Mr. Still- | man invented several improvements on looms of great value. There came a time when Rouse Babcock told Mr. | Scholfield that in order to manufac- | ture a certain grade of goods for| which theré was demand, the mills would have to be equipped with new looms. Mr. sScholfield was then boss weaver, and said he believed he could | alter thq old looms and manufacture | the good§’' He made changes and addi- ! tions in one loom, and the test was so | | satisfactory that all ‘the looms were | { changed. r seventeen years there- 1 after thes s were cperated as a ! big_ profit, a ing a foriune for the I mill own hile Mr. Scholfield re- | | ceived ouf s regular wages. | i Mr. Scholfield has two -brothers in | Montville, Charles, who is 93, and Ben- | Jamin, 88, making the aggregate ages | | of the three Scholfield brothers 3 | years. BEdwi Scholfield has I g by his first two sons, Everett A. Scholfield of Mystic and New London, Addison A. Scholfield of Westerly, and Miss Alice C. Scholfield, their half- sister. Charles Scholfield, the oldest living member of the family, happened to be in Westerly on his $1st birthday and stood talking with his brother, Edwin A., in front of the Washington Trust company, when a trolley car on the | Norwich-Westerly road came along. ! He said, burriedly: “Good-bye, Bd; I | must skip and get back to Montville in time to attend my birthday party this evening.” And he ran, caught and boarded the moving car in as lively a way as a brakie could jump a moving freight train John Scholfield, the grandfather of the “Three Scholfield Boys,” arrived in Boston from Liverpool, England, in May, 1793, accompanied by his wife and six children. and his brother, Ar- -thur Scholfield The brothers began the construction of machinery for the manufacture of woolen goods, being skilled in the most approved mode of manufacturing such goods in England. With the aid of persons of wealth, a factory was built in Byfield,near New- burport, under the supervision of the Scholfield. brothers, and here was put in operation the first carding machine that proved successful in the United States. This machine was first oper- ated by hand at Charlestown, before removing to Byfield. The business was prosperou\jsaflstactory to the project- ors, and John Scholfield was employed as agent of the mill. After five years of success in Byfield, and in their travels to purchase wool and sell their cloth, they became fa- milliar with the country-and were de- sirous of extending their business., On one of his trips John Scholfield discov- ered the valuable water facilities at Montville, near the outlet of the Oxo- boxo stream, and leased the privileges for fourteen years. The brothers clos- ed out their business at Byfield and removed to Montville and established the first woolen mill in Connecticut. Arthur Scholfield contlnued with his brother John in Montville for a few ve: and then removed to Pittsfield, Mass. John Schilfield purchased another mill privilege at Stonington (Stillman- ville) and commenced the woolen busi- ness there, leaving the mill. at Mont- ville with his sons. In 1814 he pur- chased another mill site in Montville and removed there, leaving the Ston- ington mill with ‘his son Joseph, father of Charles, Edwin and Benjamin, the present Scholfield brothers. John i olfield afterwards bought a mill In terford, which was managed by | his son Thomas. John Scholfield died | in Montville in 1820, one year before | his grandson, Edwin A., now the old- { est man in Westerly, was born. There is a reneweal of the agrree- | ment of the merchants of Westerly anc | Pawcatuck to confine their advertising to newspapers and to decline donations of articles and entertain- | ments, wich rst put.in operatjon three vears ago. At that time there as a ret merchants’ association, ch served as a nucleus for the Westerly board of trade. One of the measures that e nated n the R il Merchants’ association ferred to, and it actorily to the mer- new’ agreement has into with unanimity. The signed by every mer- PVednesday, and >ars, begin- bee | agreement w. chant approached goes injo effect for three ning today (Thursday). The agree- ment is as follows: “We, the undersigned, retail mer- chants of Westedly and Paweatuck, do hereby agree not to donate any article of merchandise, or cause any adver- tising to paid for by us, either di- rectly or indirectly, from March 10, 1910, to March 10, 1913, in any of the following fake scheme: “Hotel registers, opera house, church, secret societies, and all other pro- me and holiday advertising sheets, directo all blotting board clock, timetables and postal cards and all forms of combination ad- vertising .excent our local directories and the Westerly board of trade adver- tising. This, however, does no prevent any merchant from using bills or any scheme for his personal use.” Francis F. Haswell died Tuesday night at his home, in Oak street, in bis 734 year, having been born in Trowbridge, England, April , 1837. He_ came to Westerly sixty years ago and worked in the mill business in its varjous stages, and was finally super- intendent and of the Stillman Manufacturing company. He after- wards e in a successful grocery business, which he relinquished to his son ‘nine years ago because of impair- ed health.
