• Biography: From Portrait and Biographical Album of Ingham and Livingston Counties Michigan, Chapman Bros., 1891. MRS. LOUISA SCOFIELD, one of the representative pioneer women of Locke Township, Ingham County, making her home on section 3, was born in Niagara County, N. Y., June 17, 1816. Her father, Israel G. Atkins, was a native of New Hampshire, and her mother, Fannie Knight, was born in New York. Her father was a soldier in the War of 1812 and her maternal grandfather served under Washington in the Revolutionary War.

When still a small child our subject removed with her parents to Erie County, N. Y., and was there reared to womanhood, being given thorough training in both book lore and domestic science. It was upon the 1st of May, 1838, that she was united in marriage with Stephen Scofield, who was born in New York in 1809, and was a son of Josiah and Elizabeth Scofield. He had grown to manhood in his native State and was a man of fair education, yet practically a self-made man. By him she had five children, four of whom are living, namely: Grace, the wife of Lewis Bridger, of Shiawassee County; Ellen, wife of S. F. Smith, Mayor of Owosso; Henry W., who lives in Locke Township; Marian, wife of Arthur Watkins, of Ontario County, N. Y., and Israel G, who died in a hospital at Cincinnati, Ohio, while serving his country during the Civil War.

In 1842 Mr. and Mrs. Scofield migrated to Ingham County, Mich., and here settled upon the farm where Mrs. Scofield now resides. Like most pioneers who made their homes in this unbroken forest they had hardships and privations to encounter. They first erected a log house and in that resided for more than a quarter of a century. The present attractive residence was built by Mr. Scofield and he did a great amount of pioneer work. He was a Republican in politics and served his township for some time as Justice of the Peace. He departed this life October 9, 1869, respected by all who knew him, and in his death the county lost one of her best citizens.

The widow of Mr. Scofield resides upon the valuable estate which he left to his family, and in her advanced years she is enjoying the fruits of a life well spent in usefulness, and is surrounded by friends and neighbors who prize her character. She is identified with the Universalist Church and has ever been a valued member of church and social circles
