Biographical History

Dwight B. Stafford was born January 11, 1860, the son of Boardman Foster and Frances Bruce Stafford. Born in South Wallingford, Vt., on the family farm, he lived there and operated the farm until his death on December 9, 1936. In 1885 he married Esther Cobb and together they had three sons, Miles (1888-1952), Guy Lyman (1890-1979), and Ralph E. (1905-1993). Dwight represented Wallingford in the state legislature in 1908-1909, and was elected state senator in 1936 but died before the term began. He also served as school director from 1892 to 1894, and was a selectman and overseer of the poor for many years. Stafford was active in the Maple Valley Grange, the Chipman Lodge of the Masons, and the Waverly Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Guy (1890-1979) and Ralph (1905-1993) Stafford operated Stafford Brothers Farm. They both served as state representatives and state senators, and were active in business and civic affairs. Guy married Ruth Bell Mathewson (1898-1971) in 1930. Ralph married Mabel Rice in 1942.
