visited his brother. N. B. Buss, of this place and it was generally remarked that it was rare to see so well preserved aud vigorous a man at his great age." From the Bridgeport News of Dec. 14. 1885, we obtain the following facts. In his younger days Mr. Buss held a situation in C'olt's works at Hartford. He came from there to Bridgeport to take a position in Wheeler and Wilson's sewing machine establishment. soon after the company began business, where he had a contract as inspector, which he held until he retired from business. abont 1875. Hle served in the common council and as alderman, and was for some time a deacon in the Church of the Redeemer. He became a Freemason when 21 years old, and. at the time of his death. was a member of St. John's Lodge, Hamilton Commandery, Jerusalem Chapter. I'mtil within two years of his death he always marched over the whole route with his masonic breth- ren when they attended a funeral or upon other occasions. "Six feet tall and well built, with a figure straight as an arrow, with snowy hair and beard. and a countenance bright, benevolent and dignitied. Mr. Buss would have been a figure notable anywhere for one of his age. He had a high reputation for personal integrity and for other qualities of mind and heart which made him universally esteemed." He left a widow and two sons.

BUTTERFIELD FAMILIES.
1. EPHRAIM BUTTERFIELD. served for several weeks in the cam- paign of 1758 against the French and Indians, and, with three others. is recorded in the Provincial Papers as belonging to the Province of New Hampshire. They were residents of Wilton when the town was incorpo- rated in 1762. and were undoubtedly of Township No. 2 in 1758. Ephraim lived where the road. north of Mrs. Doe's. turns to the west. In 1765 and 1766, he was one of the selectmen. and was several times elected moderator. In consequence of refusing to sign. in 1776. the Resolution "to oppose with arms the Hostile Proceedings of the British Fleets and Armies against the United American Colonies." he was pronounced a Tory. and tradition says that he was ordered to keep within the limits of his farm on penalty of being shot. See pages 89. 90. We have seen no record of his family.
1. JOSEPH BUTTERFIELD probably came to Wilton soon after the town was incorporated. The Registry of Deeds shows that he often bought and sold land : in some deeds he is designated as a blacksmith. He was selectman four years and often served on important committees. He is supposed to have built and occupied the shop where John Farring- ton. Benjamin Wallingford. John Mack and James R. Means afterward
