For Many Years n Prominent New Ha-
 ven Man-was First sclectman aud
 Town Agent for Years.
 One of New Haven's oldest, most es- teemed and best known citizens, Major Benjamin F. Mansfield, died at his late residence, 1S4 Wooster street, Saturday night at o'clock. MT Mansfield had been in feeble health for quite a num- Der of years, and being in the eighty third year of his age death was not un- expected. It was principally due to general breaking down of the system. His death will be lamented by the many friends who will remain who were contemporary with him in the active pursuits of life.
 Mr. Mansfield was born in New Haven and has lived in the city during the en- tire term of his long and useful life. the son of William Mansfield, being l direct descendant of one of the first colonists of New Haven. His ancestors came here in 1750 and were among the first grantees of the property in the town. The plot of city ground allotted | to MT. Mansfield's ancestors was that upon which the home of eX-Mayor J. B. Sargent, at the corner of Elm and Church streets, now stands. He receiv- ed common school education, and early began the oyster business in com pany with his brother, Frederick M. Mansfield. Their place of business was in Fair Haven, and it was successfully conducted for many years. MT. Mans field in his younger days was a major in the old Connecticut militia. He took an active interest in politics and was twice elected and served as town agent. He retired from active life some years ago. He was a very conscientious, painstaking and efficient public official and his administration of affairs was excellent and irreproachable.
 In 1843 MT. Mansfield married Miss Harriet Clark and of this union were born four childen, three of whom now survive him. They are Mrs. Thomas J Beers, wife of Thomas J. Beers, former. ly carriage manufacturer here; Mrs Charles F. Doty of New York, and Ed. ward F. Mansfield of the firm of Strong Barnes &y Hart Co.,. this city. Another child. Mrs. Frank B. Walker. died 1T New Haven 8 few years ago.
 | Deceased was member of Hiram lodge, No. 1, F. and A. M, and of New l .t.L. TT7a
 The funeral services will be held a
 the late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O and the Rev. F. c. Sage, pasto of the First Baptist church, will of ficiate. The interment will be in Ever green cemetery, and it is certain tha
 there will be very large attendance 0
 the many friends of the family. Tn
 burial will be private.
