• Notes

  Frederick Chaffee received his early education in Becket, MA. His first business venture, was a jewlery store in Pittsfield, MA, which he conducted in partnership with Washington Root. In April, 1849, he went to Rutland to start a branch store; there he settled, and afterwards had a clothing store. He bought large tracts of timber land in the Green Mountains near Rutland, and about 1870 went into the lumber business, which proved to be a prosperous one; in 1882 his son, George T. Chaffee, became his father's partner, the firm name being F. Chaffee & Son. He closely allied with the financial institutions of Rutland, beinga director in the National Bank of Rutland and later in the Killington National Bank, besides several other business institutions. He was an independent, manly man who had courage of his convictions and was very active and energetic.He was kind and unostentatious and his charity brought cheer to many a sorrowing heart.
