ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE.— Mr. WM.
CHAFFEE died at the residence of his son, in
North Warren, Murch 22nd, 1880, in his 94th
year, having been born Feb. sth, 1787, being
one of the oldest, if not the oldest person in
the township where he has lived for forty
eight years.
He was a man of unusual physical strength;
has often been heard to say that 44 he never
employed a physician for himself in his life,"
was never sick enough to lie in bed all day,
until within the past few weeks, and did not
know from experience what severe pain was,
and apparently passed away painless.
Many years ago lie retired from active life,
only now and then working at his trade to
accommodate a neighbor, save cultivating a
garden, which he has done since he was over
ninety years of age, and planting, pruning,
and grafting fruit trees, and even taking care
of a few pet flowers.
Ho was from New England, and was much
attached to Eastern customs; although not
a professional man, in early life was chosen
Representative of his native State, Rhode
Island.
He retained his faculties wonderfully to the
last. And few men in our countiy have read
more books of history, antiquity, science,
agriculture and politics, than Mr. C. within
the last sixteti years. He has been known to
read from six to ten and twelve hours in
stundurd works and continue it for weeks.
His memory was very retentive, and many of
our younger people recall his stories of 44 ye
olden times," especially liis diseription of the
methods of school teaching, eighty years ago.
His wife and several children parsed over
the dark river before him, two daughters and
four sons remain; together with quite a num
ber of grand and great grand children, and
one great, great-grand child. Thus he lived
to see the filth generation, and as most of the
past century he has passed away; like the
patriarch of old, he is gathered to his fathers,
and entered we trust into the rest that re
maincth for the people of God and in the
prsence of the Savior whom he had professed
for sixty years.
