    Returning from a trip up the Mountain road we proceed a short distance north and come to another old landmark which for many years was the home of Clark Botsford. It is located under the shadows of an old primeval forest where the sun is hardly seen until towards noon.
    Mr. Botsford was one of the most thrifty residents of Chestnut Tree Hill. He owned a large and productive farm, and in connection with farming he was engaged extensively in the timber business, being associated with Burritt Davis in getting ship timber for New York.
    He was twice married. His first wife was Betsy M. Hine. Three children were born to them.

    Hiel, the oldest son of Clark and Betsy (Hine) Botsford, lived at home until the age of 16, when he went to Bridgeport and learned the stair building business, which he followed for many years. My memory does not serve me as to whom he married but this much I will venture to mention, he had a very interesting daughter, Nellie, whom the writer in his early life was very much interested in.
