--------------------------------------------------
Death claimed a loving mother last Sunday and took her from this earthly abode to her home on high. This beloved woman was Mrs. Mary E. Chapman, an old resident of Sherman County.
Mrs. Chapman, though frail in health was able to get around and walk down town almost every day, a distance of four blocks. She visited her children when she took a notion and only last week spent several days out in the country at the home of one of her sons. Last Thursday she took sick and began to fail and Sunday afternoon she passed away.
The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church in charge of Rev. L. M. Harwood, pastor of the church, and the remains were remained to rest in Evergreen cemetery. The pall bearers were members of the American Legion. Rev. Harwood spoke comforting words and gave a message that was full of inspiration.
Mary E. Tryan [sic], was born in September, 1852, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and died in Loup City, Nebraska, on May 31, 1931, aged 78 years and eight months.
At the very early age of about eighteen months her mother was called in death, and then when she was eight or nine years of age, her father died, and she was raised to young womanhood by her grandmother.
In 1879 she was united in marriage to George Chapman, in Mendota, Illinois, and to this union eight children were born--five boys and three girls all of whom still survive her.
They are Mrs. Minnie Baker, of St. Paul. Nebr., Clifford Chapman, Fred Chapman, Edson Chapman, Louis LeRoy Chapman all of Loup City, Nebr., Mrs. Viola Webber, of Hastings, Nebr., Gil Chapman of North Platte and Mrs. Ethel Schoening of Loup City.
In addition to her children, she is survived by ten grand-children and two great-grandchildren.
Her husband preceded her in death in 1920.
They came to the State of Nebraska in the fall of 1887, where Mrs. Chapman had lived continuously until the time of her departure from this life, with the exception of about four years, which were spent in the State of Arkansas.
She formerly was a member of the Baptist Church, but for quite a number of years her family had worshipped [sic] with the Presbyterians.
At the time of her death she was a much beloved and highly esteemed member of the Presbyterian Missionary Society and Home Department.
