Camden, if not from the church of the
State, its Oldest member. From the age
of l8, Mrs. Chaplin had been a loval
Methodist and Christian, and known
much of the hardships and successes of
the pioneer church. She had watched
the development OF the town for nearly
century, and was not slow to take up
with our new ways of living, since she
looked forward with joy each summer to
her auto trip to North Sears port, where
she had spent her vacations with her

outing was as great an enjoyment to her
as ever. Besides her many friends in
Camden, she leaves two sons. Cant.
