BIOGRTSlPHV. 



Edward Everett Garfield, son of Timothy Powers and Harriet Frost Garfield, was 

 born it Mt. Holly, Rutland Co., Vt., December 8, 1835, and died in Campton, 111., 

 August 4, 1896. He was a descendant of one Edward Gearfeldt, of Chester, England, 

 who came with Governor Winthorp in 1630. Gearfeldt signified "Field Watch," and 

 the significance was not belied by the succeeding generations, Edward E. being no 

 exception. In 1841 he came to Illinois with his father's family, and in 1842 they set- 

 tled in Campton Township, where he henceforth made his home. 



He was a practical surveyor, and served in many local town offices. Having a 

 liberal knowledge of law, he was employed in many capacities in that line, though 

 preferring never to become a member of the bar. 



He was a consistent member of the First Christian Church at Elburn, 111., in early 

 life; later he became a member of the Unitarian Church at Geneva, 111. 



Edward E. Garfield was married October 7, 1857, to Frances Harriet Wing, daugh- 

 ter of Dr. Seneca and Jane (Ewing) Wing, of Rutland Co., Vt. There were three 

 children, Edward Ewing, Mary Frost and Earle Wing, of whom the two latter, with 

 his wife, survive him.
