Word has been received to the effect that Mrs. L. S. Chapman, an old settler in the Williamsport neighborhood, this county, died at her home last Monday, and that her remains were interred in the Danbury cemetery (a few miles southwest of Williamsport), Wednesday. None of the particulars of Mrs. Chapman’s death have yet been received, but we will be able to print an extended sketch of her life next week. The deceased lady leaves a husband and a large family of children to mourn her loss, who have the sympathy of every one in the county in their great bereavement.

Brief Sketch of Mrs. Chapman’s Life
Luella E. Condron was born in Scott county, Iowa, Dec. 25, 1859. When quite young she moved with her parents to Woodbury county, in the same state, where she was joined in marriage with Mr. Levi S. Chapman, Feb. 11, 1877. With her husband and children she went to Montana to live in 1882, and in May, 1885, the family came to Emmons county. Old settlers of the Williamsport country well remember the coming of the Chapman family. There was a score of members of the family – big and little – and it is probable that a larger company of settlers, all closely related, never came to North Dakota at one time. They had a train of covered wagons, in which they had traveled from Montana, and young and old were in the best of health and spirits. After examining the country, they picked out locations a few miles southwest of Williamsport, where they built houses, and where, soon after, a post office – named Danbury after Dan Procunier, a member of the family – was established. For many years the Danbury neighborhood was almost exclusively populated by the members of the Chapman family and their relatives by marriage. But death or removal elsewhere has depleted their numbers until but a few members remain in the county.
Mrs. Chapman died from the effects of a tumor on her brain, which for several months had caused her to show evidence of not being entirely in her right mind.
Mrs. Chapman is survived by her husband and six children – Fred, aged 22 years; Olive, 17 years; George, 13 years; Albert, 7 years; Nellie, 6 years; and the baby, about a month old.
Mr. Chapman and the children will remain in Bismarck until spring, when they will return to their home south of Williamsport.
