from THE STORRS FAMILY by Charles Storrs , Augustus Storrs was employed by his father until April 1839 when he went to various enterprises becoming fairly wealthy. Eventually Charles, Augustus and Royal Otis, brothers, owned a commission business in New York City for twenty five years Augustine bought the old homestead in Mansfield, Conn. from his brother, Royal Otis and has owned and carried it on since 1875 he also owns much adjacent land. He spends his summers there and has greatly improved the place especially by draining the large meadow just east of his barns. Since it was drained it all can be plowed and will raise as large corn and as good grass as any in the vicinity. The Storrs Agriculture School at Mansfield, Conn. which owes its foundation to him and to his brother Charles is just north of his home its land adjoining his and his well managed farm shows its students what skillful care and tillage will do for Connecticut fields. -----------------------------------------------------------------
