BOOK - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1909. Henry M. Scofield, of Zumbrota village, retired farmer and estimable citizen, was born in Saratoga county, New York, January. 12, 1831, and has therefore already passed the three score and ten mark which Solomon made proverbial. The father, Miner Scofield (April 19, 1796-December 2, 1850), and the mother, Lydia Sherman Scofield (June 6, 1801-October 8, 1854), migrated in 1848 from New.York state to Fond du Lac county, Wis., and spent the remainder of their days on a farm. Henry M. attended the schools of his native county, and also received a part of his education in Wisconsin, to which state he removed with his parents at the age of seventeen years. After leaving school he remained at home, taking charge of his father\'s farm until 1857. From that date is reckoned his career in Goodhue county. He purchased 160 acres in Pine Island township, about one mile from Zumbrota village, and had subdued the wild acres to a profitable degree of cultivation when the Civil War broke out. Responding to the call of his country, he enlisted in 1862 in Company B, Thirty-second Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the war. After being mustered out and honorably discharged he returned to his farm, there remaining until 1901, when he sold the place to his son and removed to Zumbrota village, where he has since lived a retired life. During his more active days he served as road overseer and school clerk of his district in Pine Island township; and in Scofield Post, No. 121, G. A. R., he has held all the offices, now serving his twelfth term as chaplain. He was married January 30, 1853, to Mary A. Scofield, who died at the family residence in Pine Island, April 2, 1861. To this union three children were born. Ella M., born April 8, 1855, is now Mrs. Ella M. Shedd, a widow living in California. George H., born May 5, 1857, died March 29, 1886. William F., born September 2, 1859, lives in South Dakota. On January 30, 1866, at Rosendale, Wis., Mr. Scofield married Jane C. Murray, daughter of George and Margaret (Paamsey) Murray. Her parents migrated from Prince Edward\'s Island, Canada, to Illinois, in 1844, and moved to Wisconsin in 1854. The father was born June 30, 1791, and died November 30, 1855, while the latter was born March 17, 1899. Mrs. Scofield was born at Prince Edward\'s Island, July 28, 1835. She has borne to Henry M. Scofield five children. Edward H., born April 12, 1867, is an electrical engineer in St. Paul. Margaret A., born June 17, 1870, is a dressmaker living at home. Lewis M., born November 2, 1873, farms on the old homestead. Carrie L., born July 18, 1876, is now Mrs. Skillman, a widow residing in Zumbrota. Frank M., born January 18, 1878, died April 3, 1899. The Congregational faith is the religious belief of the family.Family links:
