Sandy Creek News, 27 Mar 1930: AUSTIN M. CAUFIELD Austin M. Caufield, aged 33, died last Friday morning, March 21, 1930, at his home in Pulaski. Although Mr. Caufleld had been ill for some two months and unable to work, yet his condition was not considered serious. About two months ago, because of heart trouble, he was forced to give up his position as plant engineer at the milk station of Hauk & Schmidt, where he had been employed nearly six years, and on the advice of his physician was taking a rest. Mr. Caufield was born in St. Lawrence County, May 25, 1897, a son of Fred and Sarah Caufleld. When a lad of 12 he came with his parents to Pulaski where the family home was made on a farm on the Rome road. Here the parents now live. In February 1919 he married Miss Dorothy Durgee, who survives him, with three children, Isabelle, Viantha and Roddy. He also leaves his parents, two brothers, Vernon and Carrol, of this village and two sisters, Mrs. Ted Green of Pulaski, and Mrs. Harold Stinger of Syracuse. The funeral was held Monday forenoon at St. John's Catholic Church, Rev. Father Buttimer officiating. Burial was made in Pulaski cemetery.

Syracuse American, 27 Nov 1932: MOTHER BRINGS SUIT TO COLLECT INSURANCE Whether the death of Austin M. Canfield, employed by a Pulaski manufacturing company was due to a heart ailment or was induced by injury, will be decided in a suit brought by his mother. Sarah A. Canfield, against the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. Canfield, according to the complaint filed through Melvin & Melvin was endeavoring to loosen a large nut on a shaft when the wrench slipped and he fell backward. The accident occurred Dec. 30, 1929, Canfield dying March 19. 1930 of heart disease, it is claimed. Canfield held an insurance policy for $1,000 issued by the defendant company, which carried double Indemnity if death was the result of an accident. A decision handed down in compensation court holds Canfield's death was due to an accident.
