OBITUARY:
In this city, July 14, 1892, at 7:30 a.m., Caleb P. Chapman, in the 82nd year of his age. The deceased was one of the pioneers of Oregon, having moved hither with his family in 1848, crossing the plains.
He was born in St. Clair county, Illinois, October 3, 1810, but he grew to manhood, principally in Louisiana and Arkansas.
Mr. Chapman was early impressed with a religious feeling, and became a member of the Christian church fifty-five years ago. He entered with zeal into its fold, was an elder in the church, and active in the ministry for twenty-five years or more. Having a weak physical constitution he devoted a good part of his early life to the business of teaching until his removal to this coast.
After his arrival in Oregon he settled in Howell Prairie and engaged in farming until 1862, when he removed to Salem and resided here continuously until his death. A little over one years ago the deceased suffered a slight paralytic stroke from which he never recovered, though able to be around most of the time. For the last four weeks he was confined to bed and his friends saw that his end was near. It came peacefully, and his spirit passed away from the midst of his mourning family.
Mr. Chapman's nature was kind and generous and charitably inclined toward the frailties of his fellow creatures. He was an indulgent husband and father, a quiet and unobtrusive citizen, and a devoted christian. He leaves a widow to whom he was united fifty years ago on the 7th of June last, and four children--Caleb A., of this city, John A., of Washington county, and Mrs. T. B. Jackson and Mrs. D. McFadden, both of this city. The funeral services will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Christian church.
