OVERLAND AND ROBERT LOGAN DUFIELD MCHENRY COUNTY PIONEER ANSWERS HIS MASTER'S CALL Robert Logan Dufield, son of John Logan and Ann Dufield, was born in Braxton county, Virginia, on Sept. 17, 1837, and came to McHenry county with the Virginia settlement when a baby in his mother's arms and has been a resident of Ridgefield for a half century. Mr. Dufield's family was among the first to help build the church and school, using generously of their means for these purposes, and their influence has ever been felt in the foundations laid in religion and education in the community. The family name is one of nobility. It was originally Du Fitflde, being of French origin, for they were driven out of France thru religious persecu­ tions, settling in northern England, Scotland and Ireland, and later the grandparents were members of the company who came to this country and located at Jamestown, Virginia. The grandfather, John Bales, served with the British army, which he later de­ serted and joined the colonists. Others in the family served their country faithfully in the Revolutionary war. On Oct. 21, 1860, Mr. Dufield was united in marriage to Adelia M. Boom­ er at McHenry. Three children were born to gladden their home, namely: Eudora.M. Green of Meade, Washing­ ton; Mrs. Mary Hamilton of Woodstock and Delmar Dufield of Waltham, Mass., all of whom survive their father. The childred's mother died Aug. 15, 1875. On Dec. 11, 1889, he was united ~in marriage to Mrs. Sarah Isabelle Skin­ ner, who with two stepsons, Roy and Arthur Skinner, are left to mourn their loss. The deceased was a member of the Masonic order, joining the lodge when a young man of twenty-one at McHen­ ry and up to his death was a member of the Crystal Lake lodge. He was a blacksmith by trade and a workman that was in demand for any and every piece of work that was of an intricate and difficult nature. "Uncle Doc," as he was known by great host of friends and acquaintances, was truly a child of nature, for he loved the woods, being a huntsman of no mean ability He was always for close contact with nature and the life of bird and beast. His character was unique, open, frank, jovial, always of a i pleasant disposition and without an enemy in the world, which says a great for the man. Never have I heard him speak unkindly of a person, a friend to those who needed help. He was loved by all who knew him for the many splendid traits of character which he |K>ssessed. For several years he has been par tially fcel pleas and suffered another slight stroke about two weeks before his death, passing away quietly Wed nesday morning, Nov. 4, 1914. The funeral services were held Fri­ day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the house and 2:30 from the church. Rev. C. H. Giesselbrecht of Manston, Wis., assisted by Rev. J. W. MacGowan, conducted the services. The Masonic .order took charge at the cemetery and their perenjo^y was very beautiful and ^mpressiy.e.
