Canfield, Thomas. - One of the highly esteemed citizens of Hoosick Falls for the last quarter of a century,
and for about the same length of time an efficient trusted employee of Walter A. Wood Company is Mr. Thomas Canfield,
whose recent occupancy of the village presidential chair is but one proof of his personal popularity. He was born
in Ireland lb 1849; in 1866 made his residence in Troy until 1870, when he located in Hoosick Falls, therefore
being a resident twenty six years. He is by trade an iron molder, and also operates a general store at Elm and
Third streets. He married in 1872 Miss Mary A. Mulcahy of Troy, who is the mother of twelve children of whom all
but three are living, a large and interesting family. Mr. Canfield is an earnest advocate of temperance principles,
and was for many years officially connected with the Father Mathew Society as president and as treasurer. His administration
of village affairs was characterized by economy, honesty, and sole regard for the public good.
