General Notes: Husband - Frank B. Chapin


He was educated in the schools of his native township, and then entered actively into business. For six years he was hay buyer for Charles Ferver, and in that capacity traveled as far west as Iowa and east to Massachusetts. He had a farm of 107 acres, fifty acres of which were in hay, ten acres being devoted to each of the following crops: corn, wheat and oats. He kept about twenty head of cattle and horses, and for a period of five years followed dairying extensively, wholesaling the milk in New Castle. He was a successful farmer and an enterprising citizen. He was a Republican in politics, served on the school board and election board, but was not a politician. Religiously he was a member and trustee of the M. E. Church, and served as treasurer of the Sabbath school.
Later in life he resided on the old family homestead.
