MISS IDA E. CHAPMAN [CHAPIN], OF NORWICH.

WHEREVER SHE WAS KNOWN HER DEATH IS DEEPLY DEPLORED.

MISS IDA E. CHAPIN

 
Norwich, July 2. - Ida E. Chapin died on Saturday evening at her home about three miles east of the village, aged 50.  Miss Chapin had been in failing health for three years, during which she underwent two unsuccessful operations and for the past three months had been confined to her room.

   Miss Chapin was the only child of Seth E. and Ellen French Chapin and was born November 13, 1858, in the same house in which she died.  She was educated in the Norwich Academy and became a woman of unusual force of character, developing an amiable and genial disposition, which did not desert her during all of her long period of suffering which she bore with unvarying calmness and courage.

   She had been a member of the Congregational Church from girlhood and for several years had served as deaconess.  She was deeply interested in the work of the King's Daughters and her interest extended beyond the willing Workers' Circle of which she was a member.  She will be greatly missed in her home, where she had always been a strong support to her parents, who survive her, and she leaves a very wide circle of friends to mourn her death.

   Her funeral was largely attended on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Paul R. Allen officiating.  The many beautiful floral offerings attested to the esteem in which she was held.  Interment was made in the Quarter Cemetery.
