Antwerp Gazette - 1888
Death of an Old and Respected Citizen.
Japhet Chapin, one of Antwerp's oldest and most respected citizens, died,
at his residence, in this village, at about nine o'clock last Thursday
evening, Feb. 16, after an illness of three days, with pneumonia, aged
91 years and 7 months.
Mr. Chapin has resided in Antwerp since Feb. 18th, 1818, and, during all
the years of his long residence here, he enjoyed, to an unusual degree,
the high esteem and entire confidence of his fellow-townsmen. His funeral
was largely attended, at the Congregational church last Sunday forenoon,
Rev. C. M. Westlake, assisted by Rev. J. A. Canfield, officiating.
Note: The year, 1888, was taken from Bartlett's Cemetery Inscriptions for
the Town of Antwerp.
