Portrait of Maj. d. j. Stafford

Thomas G. Cheneyehas secured fine
crayon portrait of the late Maj. Darius
Stafford from the latter's son-in-law,
Frank w. Agau, of Ludlow, which is to
be placed in the new Library Building, a
very fitting place for the same because of
the interest which Maj. Stafford always
showed in the Library as was shown by
the handsome bequest he made for it at
the time of his death.
This portrait was made during the lat
ter part of Maj. Safford's active life in
this village, wheD he was engaged with
his brother, Hiram Stafford, in operating
the grist mill under the hill. He was
engaged in this business for many years,
until about 1883, when he entered the
service of the government in the pension
department, being stationed for few
years at Augusta, Me-, and Concord, N.
H., in charge of the offices there, land
later being for a few years in the depart
ment in Washington until he was sent to
Minneapolis in charge of the work in that
section of the country.
He died at his home in this village on
West High street, the house now occu-
pied by Mr.. Schutt, in August 1895, after
a long illness coupled with intense suf-
ferng from cancer. Few have ever
loved Morrisvile and her people with a
stronger love than Maj. Stafford, who was
for many years one of our leading citizens
and active in everything that pertained
to our civic affairs. At the time of his
death he had been for long time one of
the deacons and leaders in the Congrega-
tional church.
He received the highest rank in the
Vermont troops during the Civil War of
any person who enlisted from Morris
town. Entering the service as Lieutenant
of Co. d. of the Eleventh Vermont, he
was successfully promoted Captain, Maj
or and Lieutenant-Colonel coming home
in command of the regiment August %,
1865. He, together with 400 of his regi-
ment was captured near Petersburg June
%, 1864, nearly 300 of the number dying

in Confederate prisons inside of six
months. Maj. Stafford, Capt. Griswold,
now of st. Johnsbury, and Capt. Fleury,
soon escaped, but Capt. Griswold was
soon recaptured, while the others reached
the Union army at Beverly, W. Va.
Capts. Grswold and Gould while here
last week for their first reunion since
1876 visited Maj. Safford's grave in our
cemetery and spoke in the highest terms
of him, both saying that the men always
felt safe when Maj. Stafford was with
them as he never lost his head, but was
always cool and brave.
The crayon portrait together with a
photo taken the latter part of his life is
on exhibition at A. l.. Cheney's window.
