Mather, J., Fairfield, is one of the oldest and best known residents of the 
town of Fairfield.  His early business years were spent in mercantile lines, 
and the last twenty-two in managing his own and other dairy farms, amounting 
to 650 acres and 126 cows.  He was postmaster at Fairfield for twelve years 
under Presidents Van Buren, Pierce and Buchanan.  In 1844 he married Eliza 
Jones, and they have three children living, Albert B., Fred D., and Maria L. 
Mather.  His father, Moses Mather, was instrumental in founding the Fairfield 
Academy, and Mr. Mather was its treasurer for twenty years, and an active 
trustee for about forty years.
