   J. P. Scarp, a native of Sweden, was one of Litchfield’s earliest business men,
coming here in 1871, and engaging in side of agricultural implements. He continued
in that line of trade until 1882, when he made a visit to the land of his birth to
see the old home and his parents, and on the voyage back, the vessel upon which he
sailed was wrecked and he was drowned in the Baltic Sea. He carried a policy of
insurance in the Redwing company, which provided partially for his family, who still
are residents of the village, and this, with his other estate, places them far above
any necessity. He was a charter member of the Workmen’s Lodge in Litchfield, the
insurance from which was also $2,000. He was a man who possessed the respect and
esteem, of the whole community, and was widely known as everybody’s friend. His
cruel death was a sad blow to his bereaved family, who still mourn his loss.
