Paul Satterfield left this earth today after a full life. He was a farmer from a family of farmers who have worked the land of Caroline County for generations.
He married the love of his life, Mary Ida Rampmeyer, and had four children, Carolyn, Nancy, Paul "Buddy" and Edwin "Fred". He had eight grandchildren, Miles and Molly Garrett, Abigail Gearhart, Evie and Chelsie Satterfield, and Kyle, Cody and Samantha Satterfield, and most recently, a great-grandchild, Holland Garrett.
He started his dairy herd on rented farms, and when he bought his own farm on Downes Station Rd., he and his family and friends, saddled up, and drove the the herd to their new home down Rt. 404 and Holly Rd. (Imagine doing that today!)
A kind and very generous man, Paul was also a great harmonica player -- a natural musician. Another member of our Greatest Generation has left us and gone to his reward. God bless him.

Paul was a good man and will be missed. I used to visit with him while he'd be working on his tractor in his garage on 4th St. We'd talk and talk and he'd even help me out a bit when I didn't have a job. God bless him.
