On Mr. Platt's withdrawal from the Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co., he began manufactur- ing buttons for himself, his sons, William S. and Clark M., then not yet of age, being employed in the factory. In 1847 a · partnership was entered into between the father and the sons, under the firm name of A. Platt & Co., which afterwards became- A. Platt & Sons. The business grew to large pro-

portions during the father's life time, and the com- pany, the outgrowth of that concern, is to-day one

of the most prosperous of those engaged in button making in Waterbury. Alfred Platt was a deacon in the Baptist Church, and was one of the three men who gave obligations to the full extent of their prop- erty as security for the debt incurred in building the first Baptist meeting house in the center of the town.

On June 8, 1814, Mr. Platt was married to Irene, daughter of Hiram Blackman, of Brookfield. Conn., and to the union were born six sons. Mr. Platt died Dec. 29, 1872, and Mrs. Platt passed away Nov. 2, 1863. Their children were :

(1) Nirom B. Platt was born Sept. 1. 1818, at Platt's Mills, and in boyhood attended the then somewhat famous school of Amos Smith in New Haven. He became a merchant, was a man of ir- reproachable character, strong in his convictions and a devoted member of the Baptist Church. He mar- ried Sept. 17. 1840, Eliza. daughter of Wheeler Kirtland, of Woodbury, Conn., and their seven chil-

dien were: Frances E., widow of Charles H. Rus- sell; Margaret P., wife of Wilson S. Osborn: Ida K., wife of Lewis E. Perkins; Willard W. ; and three who died in childhood. Nirom B. Platt died Oct. 14, 1863.

( 2) Charles S. Platt was born July 30, 1820, and on Sept. 4, 1861, married Mary M. Tobey. He re- moved to western Massachusetts, and died Feb. 5, 1896.

(3) William S. Platt was born Jan. 27, 1822, and died March 27, 1886. He was educated in the common schools, at the Waterbury Academy, and at a school of high grade in New Haven, taught by Amos Smith, where he was greatly interested in physics and chemistry, and also became fascinated with mechanical engineering. He had acquired, before reaching his majority. the art of rolling sheet zine, and was the first to produce it successfully in Waterbury. He had also invented and constructed machinery for the manufacture of buttons from the same, and for the manufacture of seamless zinc tub- ing. In 1847 he entered into partnership with his father and his brother, Clark M. Platt, for the man- ufacture of metallic buttons, and in 1876 the Platt Brothers & Co. was incorporated with a capital of $30,000. Of this company William S. Platt was chosen president, and Clark MI. Platt, secretary and treasurer. At the same time the Patent Button Co. was formed and incorporated. and consisted for the most part of the same stockholders, but included representatives of Porter Bros. & Co. Both of these branches of business were eminently successful-a fact which was due largely to the ingenious ma- chinery which Mr. Platt was constantly inventing. There is probably no place in the Naugatuck Valley in which the triumphs of inventive skill are better illustrated than in the button factories of the Platt Brothers & Co. Mr. Platt, as referred to in the sketch of his father, had been associated with him in business beginning back in 1847. . "He was a man of strong marked traits, among which were ab- solute independence and self-reliance, great power of abstraction, and a mind which could not cease from effort until the problem before it was solved. He was an original investigator in questions of phy- sical science, psychology and theology. In relig- ious matters, especially, he met every question fairly. rot dismissing it from his mind until it was solved by patient and thorough investigation. His success in business brought him considerable wealth, but it was apparent not in any change in his style of life, but in the increase of his benevolence. He was a deacon in the Baptist Church at the time of his death, and had been for many years its largest bene- factor." On Oct. 1, 1844, Mr. Platt was married to Caroline, daughter of William and Alma ( Porter) Orton, who after the death of her parents, lived in the family of Deacon Timothy Porter, her mother's brother. The children born to this marriage who reached maturity are: Irving G. (born June 18,

1860, who died Dec. 6, 1896), Helen I. ( Mrs. Wal- lace H. Camp) and Caroline A.

(4) Clark M. Platt was born Jan. 1, 1824. In boyhood he entered his father's shop and began learning the button manufacturing business. Be- fore reaching his majority, however. he dropped out for a time, and for a year was in attendance at the Connecticut Literary Institute, in Suffield. After this he returned to his father's factory and resumed his business, which he continued to follow through life. As stated in the preceding sketch of his fa- ther he joined him in business in 1847. and was connected with the business through the several changes indicated in the sketches of father and brother, and with them built up the extensive and successful business still carried on under the Platt name. Like his father and brother, Mr. Platt was a successful inventor, and obtained patents on a number of inventions which aided in the success of their business. On May 20, 1846, Mr. Platt was married to Miss Amelia M., daughter of Selden Lewis, of Naugatuck, and to them were born chil- dren as follows: Bertha Lewis, now Mrs. Jay H. Hart, of Waterbury; Lewis Alfred and Edward Legrand, both of whom died in childhood; and: Lewis Alfred (2), now secretary of Platt Bros. & Co. Clark M. Platt died Dec. 20. 1900.

(5) Alfred Legrand Platt was born June 1. 1825, and received his education in the schools of Water- bury and New Haven. Like his father and brothers lie, too, learned the art of manufacturing buttons, and in his earlier manhood was so occupied in New- town, Conn., and Leominster, Mass. Returning to Waterbury in 1861 he took up his residence at Platt's Mills, where he was engaged with his father in the milling business. In 1863 he assumed charge of the distribution of the mill products and worked up a large demand for theni. In 1876 he organized the Platt Mill Co., of which he was principal owner and director. In 1882 they erected an elevator in Waterbury with a capacity for 60.000 bushels of grain. A storehouse is also maintained in Nauga- tuck. He, with his son, Alfred S. Platt, and Oliver G. Camp, leased the flour mill which they sold to Platt Bros. & Co. in 1892, and conducted a flour and feed business at Platt's Mills and in the city of Waterbury and town of Naugatuck. On Feb. 6, 1895, the mill was destroyed by fire, after which they continued the business in Waterbury and Naugatuck. On July 28, 1847, Mr. Platt married Sarah Ann Sherman, who was born Feb. 10, 1827. in Danbury, Conn., daughter of Ornan and Clara ( Lake) Sherman, farming people in the town of Danbury. Her father was born Dec. 10, 1795, and died Dec. 5, 1864; her mother was born March 22, 1796, and died Feb. 28. 1861. Mrs. Platt died Sept. 5: 1898, surviving her husband, who passed away Aug. II, 1896. Two children came to Mr. and Mrs. Platt. Sarah Jane and AAlfred Sherman. The daughter, born Jan. 8, 1849, was married May 10,

(6) Seabury B: Platt was born Oct. 5, 1828, in the town of Waterbury. He was a student at Yale in the class of 1852, but owing to ill health aban- doned his college course during his junior year. In 1861 he became a student of law in the office of J. W .. Webster, and was admitted to the Bar in May, 1864. In June of that year he located at Birming- ham, Conn., and there became judge of the borough court. He died at Derby, Conn., Aug. 12, 1895.

ALFRED S. PLATT, whose standing among the business men of Waterbury is of the very best, was born in Newtown, Conn., Nov. 12, 1854, a son of Al- fred Legrand Platt. He was between six and seven years of age when his parents removed to Water- bury, and there he grew to maturity. The public schools and the business college of New Haven af- forded him his education, and he was ready early in his life to learn the miller's trade under his father's instructions, in the mill which that gentleman owned and operated. Mr. Platt grew up in the business, working with his father until the latter's death, and there is not a detail in the practical working of the mill which he does not know by personal experience. - When a joint stock company was formed in 1876, Mr. Platt was one of the stockholders. After the · death of the elder Platt, he joined with O. G. Camp, and bought out all the other interests, they becoming the sole owners of the property. They are known as the Platt Mill Co., and transact a large business.

Mr. Platt and Miss Eugenie A. Nettleton were married Dec. 18, 1876. Mrs. Platt was born in Naugatuck, Conn., Feb. 20. 1854. a daughter of Clark Nettleton. One child has blessed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Platt, Alice E., born Oct. 7, 1877. Mr. Platt is a Republican. Fraternally he belongs to Townsend Lodge, No. 89, Ansantawae Encamp- ment, No. 20, I. O. O. F., and others. Their home is at Platt's Mills, three miles south of Waterbury Center. They are all highly respected members of society, and are regarded as among the best people of the city.

DEXTER OSWIN DOOLITTLE, general farmer and fruit grower, and one of the highly re- spected citizens of Wallingford, was born on the homestead, on the old New Haven road, in the town of Wallingford, Jan. 8, 1847. Mr. Doolittle is a lineal descendant of Abraham Doolittle, the first of that name in Wallingford, who was also one of the first settlers.

Alfred Doolittle, the grandfather of Dexter O. Doolittle, was a native of Wallingford, and was a son of. Joel Doolittle, an extensive farmer of the same place. Alfred Doolittle was a man of educa- tion for that time, and taught school for a number of years, and at one time was the principal of the Wallingford Academy, many of the older residents having received instruction from him. His estate consisted of a large tract of land, on the old New

Haven road, where he carried on general farming. A Democrat of the old Democracy, he upheld its principles, and was a man in every way estimable. He died of pneumonia, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years, in Wallingford on the old home- stead where he was born. Alfred Doolittle married Lois Dayton, of North Haven, and to this union were born three children: Oswin, who graduated from Yale College and was a prominent lawyer ; Jonathan Edward, the father of our subject; and Lucy, the widow of Henry B. Fowler, a resident of Wallingford. The mother of these children died in North Haven, at the age of eighty-four, a devoted member of the Episcopal Church.

Jonathan Edward Doolittle was born on the old homestead and attended the schools in Wallingford, and later went through Yale College and graduated from the medical department, beginning his practice in Wallingford, but his promising career was cut short at the early age of thirty-two, from an attack of pneumonia which no skill could cure. His death, in 1852, was a great loss to the community. In his profession, he was one of the rising men, and he was a man of such pronounced temperance prin- ciples, that the workers in that cause felt almost bereft. As early as the age of seventeen, he had bravely upheld his views, and during life lectured in its behalf.

Dr. Doolittle was married in 1845, to Elizabeth Hull, of North Farms, a sister of the well-known Deacon Samuel and Colonel Henry Hull, of North Farms, and to this union two children were born: Dexter Oswin ; and Jonathan Forestus, who died in 1864, from lockjaw, caused by getting his hand crushed in a sorghum mill. The mother married, second, Horace Smith, of Wallingford, who died in 1891. Mrs. Smith resides with her son, on the old homestead, and is a valued and consistent member of the Congregational Church.

Dexter Oswin Doolittle attended the district schools of Wallingford and North Haven, and also had other educational advantages. He remained with his mother until he was sixteen years old, at which time he went to Naugatuck, where he was engaged as clerk for F. S. Andrews, remaining at a salary of $8 per month, for the first year, and steadily advancing until he became a confidential clerk at increased salary. He then operated a store of his own, but finally sold out and returned to the farm where he has ever since remained engaged in general farming, market-gardening and peach grow- ing. Here Mr. Doolittle has a fine farm of 100 acres which yields abundantly, and here he has erected a new house and made many improvements. Industrious and persevering. Mr. Doolittle has not vet exhausted the possibilities of his fertile farm.

In 186S. Mr. Doolittle was married to Hattie Elizabeth Palmer, of Naugatuck, who was born in Sharon, Conn., a daughter of Liberty Palmer, and four children have been born of this union: Lillian Elizabeth, who married Elbert Twing, of Walling-

ford; Minnie Almira, who married William Burk, of Wallingford; Jonathan, who in infancy met his death from scalding; and Samuel Walter, a bright promising young man, who died Feb. 3, 1901, after an illness of one day from pneumonia. Mr. Doo- little has taken an interest, as does every good eiti- zen, in public affairs, but is no office seeker. An independent Democrat, he uses his judgment in as- sisting candidates to office, and sets an example of temperance and morality, in his neighborhood. For many years he has been a member of the Advent Church, and started out as an Evangelist in 1890, his sincerity and his neighborly kindness causing him to be highly esteemed and thoroughly respected through Wallingford.

ISAAC EDWIN MANSFIELD is one of the most extensive farmers and substantial citizens of North Haven, as well as a worthy representative of a family which settled in this part of New Haven county as early as 1639. Richard Mansfield was the ancestor of the family, which had its origin in England, and has now numerous descendants

through almost all the states of the Union.

owned town property in New Haven, and land at East Farms some four miles from New Haven where he lived from 1641 until his decease, Jan. 10, 1655. In 1657 his widow married Alexander Field; she was the owner of part of the land upon which Yale College now stands, which was inherited by her second son, Moses.

Joseph Mansfield, son of Richard, was probably born in England. He took the freeman's oath, Feb. 8, 1657, and died in 1692. His children were: Mary, Martha, Mercy, Silence. Elizabeth, Comfort. John. Joseph, Ebenezer and Japhet. the last three of whom lived at "Mansfield Farms." Of this fam- ily Joseph (II) was the direct ancestor of the sub- ject of this sketch, the others also becoming con- nected in marriage with the other old and promi- nent families.

The children born to Joseph Mansfield (II) were: Mary, Lydia, John. Elizabeth. Joseph (III), Amos. Josiah, Abigail. Thomas and Ebenezer.

The line falls on Joseph Mansfield (III), whose children were: Dan ; Titus, who lived at Mansfield Farms : Capt. Joseph of the Revolutionary Army ; and Phœbe.

The children of Titus Mansfield were: Eben- ezer, Enos, Hannah, Richard, Mabel, Titus, Jesse. Mabel, Lemuel. Joel and Mary.

Ebenezer Mansfield, son of Titus, served in the Revolution, and was present at the hanging of Major Andre. He preserved as one of his treas- ures. a silver dollar given to him by Lady Washing- ton for making a milking stool for her. Nis chil- dren were: Rhoda, Sally, Mabel, Ebenezer, John Lewis and Mary.

Ebenezer Mansfeld, son of Ebenezer, was born Jan. 23, 1791, and died in 1865. He was a farmer. and his residence was on State street, in the town

of Hamden, where he erected the house lately occul- pied by Lyman Bassett. His wife was Lanra Stiles, who was born in 1787, a daughter of Isaac C. Stiles. Their children were: Isaac, who married Maria Hitchcock and lived in Morris, Otsego Co., N. Y .; Edwin Lewis; Mary Elizabeth; Laura Lonisa : Eunice, who married Edward Johnson ; and Laura.

Edwin Lewis Mansfield was born May 18, 1817, in the home on State street, and had but limited edu- cational advantages. Leaving home when but a lad, he endeavored to assist his parents, working for some time for Major Elias Bishop, for whom Bishop Gate was named, and from his small wages always managed to give some to his parents. Wlien other lads of his age were at healthful play, he was plow- ing, picking stones, clearing out brush, or doing chores, early enduring the pangs of poverty. One incident he was fond of relating, was of a time when a penny would have given him much happiness. A fishing party was proposed, but as he had neither hook nor line, nor money to purchase either, he re- solved to apply to Deacon Blakeslee, who kept a small store in the vicinity. Not doubting the child's honesty, the worthy deacon thought to teach him a lesson, and instead of trusting him for the penny hook, he said. "Earn the penny first, get the hook later," and although no doubt this was a great afflic- tion, Mr. Mansfield said he had always remembered that advice and followed it through life. The per- severance and honesty of the boy received its re- ward, for he found employment in the neighbor- hood, and when older learned brick-making, after the methods of those days, working faithfully at this until he became the proprietor of a brick business of his own. For twenty summers he worked in this line, becoming a molder and receiving good wages. Disposing of his. brick interests in North Haven, in connection with Franklin Shepherd, he engaged in the business in Berlin, where he re- mained for several years, in the meantime pur- chasing from Riah Bishop, in the fall of 1843, the old home and the farm now occupied by his son. His parents' last days were passed in his home, and when he was ready to retire from active work in the brick business, he came back to the old place, which was then his own, and spent his last days in farm- ing. He passed away Sept. 8. 1888. His wife was Polly Content Bishop, a daughter of Riah and Con- tent ( Blakeslee) Bishop, and she still survives. (See descendants of Lieut. Gov. James Bishop. of New Haven Colony.) The children born to her were : Mary Aurelia, born in 1844, married on Nov. 30, 1864, to Hubbard Bradley and upon his death to William H. Doolittle : and Isaac Edwin.

Isaac Edwin Mansfield was born in the old home where his beloved mother now lives, on Thanksgiv- ing Day. Nov. 28. 1850. His educational advant- ages were excellent. comprising a course through the district school. this being supplemented by sev- eral terms at North Haven Academy and a private school at Mt. Carmel, kept by Mrs. Mary Dicker-

man. After leaving school he engaged in teach- ing for two or three years in North Haven, in dis- tricts Nos. 7 and 8, but later returned to assist his father on the farm, at the latter's decease taking en- tire charge of it. He has added land until now the estate comprises more than 100 acres, and is a credit to New Haven county.

Mr. Mansfield was married May 28, 1874, to Mary D. Shepherd, a native of North Haven, and a daughter of Franklin and Sarah ( Mansfield) Shep- herd, the former of whom was one of the largest brick manufacturers of North Haven. The chil- dren born to this union were: ( I) Irving Holmes, born in 1875, lives near Mansfield Bridge in North Haven ; he married Josephine M. Zuber, and has two children, Leslie A .. and Albert Irving. (2) Edith Laura, born in 1877. married Albert B. Brockett, a farmer in North Haven, and has two children, War- ren E. and Newton Eli. (3) Edwin Shepherd, born in 1880, resides on the farm with his father ; he mar- ried Lena Mae Nickloy. In politics Mr. Mansfield is a Democrat, and has efficiently served his town on the board of selectmen, for two years, being an as- sociate with Capt. Cyrus Cheney, and has been on the board of relief. The family was reared in the faith of the Episcopal Church, in which he has been a vestryman, and of which his wife is also a com- municant. Among the representative men of this section, Mr. Mansfield takes a pride in his ancestry, and sustains the family reputation for integrity and a high order of citizenship.
