True Republican, 13 February 1926
G. Frank Stafford, of a family for nearly 70 years residents of Cortland and Sycamore townships, passed from this life at his home on Somonauk street in Sycamore Wednesday evening, Feb. 10, at about 8:30 o'clock. He had been in failing health for the last two years, but until a few weeks ago he had been able to be outdoors. His death was due to hardening of the arteries.
George E. Stafford, father of deceased, was a well known land owner and livestock dealer here for many years. He was born in Preston, Chenango county, N.Y., in 1831, and in 1857 came with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Stafford to Cortland township, this county, where the parents resided until their death. The son George F. Stafford was 23 years of age when he arrived here. He was married in 1858 to Christina Young, and they became the parents of two children: Emily, who became the wife of Charles A. Lattin, and who survives, a resident of Sycamore, and G. Frank Stafford.
G. Frank Stafford was born in Cortland township on April 27, 1863. When he was a young man the family became residents of Sycamore. He was united in marriage to Miss Lydia Baker, who survives, with their daughter Miss Acenith Stafford.
Mr. Stafford was engaged in farming on his farm of some 300 acres in Cortland township. He retired from active farm work a few years ago and purchased the handsome home on Somonauk street where he had since resided.
