George was the clerk of the VT House of Representatives and state attorney for Addison county.
He died of typhoid fever.
Obituary for the 11 Jan 1878 edition of the St. Albans Messenger:
"The funeral of the late George R. Chapman of Vergennes, took place in Montpelier, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. there was a large attendance, which included several member of the Addison County Bar, citizens of Vergennes, Middlebury, Rutland, Burlington and other places, and a large number of Montpelier people. The manifestations of sorrow were universal, and the scene was most affecting. The services, which were held in the Pavilion parlors, were conducted by Rev. J. H. Hincks of Bethany Congregational Church, and consisted of the reading of a scripture lesson and prayer and singing by select choir. The remains, which looked very natural, were enclosed in a elegant casket, upon which were beautiful wreaths of immortelles and similax. At the conclusion of the services, the remains were taken to Green Mount cemetery for interment."
