Clifton Springs Press,
October 1886:
Died, at Clifton Springs, Oct. 6th, 1886, Samuel Judd Redfield aged 52 years.
The subject of this memoir was the 2nd son of Manning and Millicent Goodrich Redfield, and the grandson of Peleg Redfield a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and one of the last, if not the last of the veterans who died in Ontario county. His father Manning was a volunteer and served in the war of 1812 against Great Britain.
The grandfather in 1779 exchanged a small property in Suffield county where he then lived with Oliver Phelps, his neighbor, for any 200 acres of land he might select left unsold of the Phelps and Gorham purchase. The site selected by the grandsire was chosen one mile west of Clifton Springs, where he lived and died at the age of 90 years. Prior to his death and about the year 1814 he purchased another farm lying on the Canandaigua outlet and a portion of the Plains, so called, one mile north of Clifton Springs where his son Manning lived and died. At the death of his father, Samuel Judd inherited the homestead where he lived with his mother and assuming the management of the property and care of his younger brothers till they married and and settled elsewhere. In the year 59 he married Miss Clarrisa J. Post and continued to occupy and cultivate the old homestead till within two years, failing in health rented his farm and moved into Clifton and lived till his death.
The funeral of the deceased occurred on the 8th inst. from the Universalist church at Clifton where he was a member. The sermon being delivered by Rev. J. Brayton of Auburn, who entered extendedly and eloquently into the life and character of deceased, and of which every portion of that large audience of neighbors and friends seemed in full sympathy and accord. Appropriate remarks were also made by the Rev. Mr. Perkins, pastor of the church. After these impressive services, his remains were consigned to their final resting place in the cemetery in Gypsum near his farm and birth place.
The surroundings seemed quite in harmony with the event. The day was beautiful and was waning, the glorious sun had well settled in the west the sear and faded leaf rustled in the footstep. The fields have been well shorn of their summer productions and few of the crops were left to be gathered in. So with these and many other things to remind us that the things of this world are earthly and must pass away our husband, brother, father, and friend of the whole human race was consigned back to that earth that gave him being "ashes to ashes and dust to dust."
Thus it may be truly said the deceased was not only to the manner born, but was an ornament to the community in which he lived. In his family he was a kind and indulgent husband and father. He was generous, he was just, he loved his fellow man and dealt kindly with him. His loss will be adversely felt by the whole community in which he lived and to family and kindred it is a loss that cannot be replaced and no balm of comfort from this world would seem sufficient to restore the wounded feelings of those who so sincerely mourn his loss.
Besides his widow left sorrowing for him is a daughter and three brothers Henry S. of Rochester, Chas. M. and C. Ellery living in Clifton Springs.
