I am looking for the family of my husbands great grandmother. Her name was Mim Arletta
Chapin, born in Harrod, Allen County, Ohio September 16, 1866. She married Finley Durbin
before 1894, also in Allen county, Ohio. Mim had three children with Finley: Rhea Mary
Durbin and John F. Durbin, the third childs name is unk. In 1901 Mim divorced Finley and
went to CA with Rhea and John, settling in Pomona CA. In 1909 Finley Durbin married Elon
A., believed to be Mim's sister, which would make her maiden name Chapin. She was
born abt. 1872. In the 1930 Census, Elon and Finley were in CA. Elon died Oct 20, 1932
in San Bernadino. Mim never remarried and died Oct 12, 1947 in Orange County, CA. Her CA
death record says her mother's maiden name was Stauffer.
