Later they located on Howell Prairie, where they took a donation land claim, and here they remained until 1863, when the family moved to Salem. Here Rev. Chapman, who was a minister of the Christian church, died eight years ago, after a service in the ministry for fifty-three years. Deceased was a member of the Christian church nearly all her life, and died in that faith.
She leaves, to mourn her demise, two sons, Caleb Chapman, of Waltsburg, Washington, and John A. Chapman of Middleton, Oregon, and two daughters, Mrs. Hattie M. Jackson and Mrs. Sadie McFadden, both of this city. The two daughters were at their aged mother’s bedside when she breathed her last. The funeral will be held from the First Christian church, tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, at 2 o’clock, Rev. J. J. Evans officiating.
