Obituary: Jamestown NY Evening Journal, March 27, 1906
Charles A. Clapp passed away at his home in Ellington on the evening of March 20, 1906. He was born Oct. 26, 1837, on the old Chautauqua road; married Mary C. Bentley Nov. 26, 1854; moved to the village of Elllngton April 1, 1866, where he engaged in business as a merchant for a number of years; served as postmaster for some time; also as overseer of the poor several terms. They reared two children, Edward W. Clapp, now in business at Conewango Valley, and Margret Clapp, now residing at home. Besides a wife, he leaves three brothers, Aaron W., Wm. M. and Albert Clapp, all of Ellington; also one sister, Mrs. John F. Baxter of East Randolph.
Funeral services were held at the home Friday, March 23, 1906. Rev. J. E. lams officiated, assisted by Rev. L. Leonard. Music by Mrs. H. B. Frisbee and Mrs. A. M. Sprague was finely rendered. Choice floral emblems were presented by Mrs. J. Lee Bray, New York city; Mr. and Mrs. A. C.Wade, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Stafford, M. L. Clapp, Mrs. A. H. Hatch, Jamestown; Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

Relatives and friends were in attendance from Erie, Pa.; Salamanca, Randolph, Jamestown, Kennedy, Steamburg, Cherry Creek, Conewango Valley. Interment In Valley View cemetery.
Deceased was of an unassuming nature, and to those acquainted it is unnecessary to say, a man of few words, following the maxim that actions speak more plainly than words. In his home life jovial, a kind husband, an indulgent father, his door has always been open to the fatherless and his heart and hand to those in distress, ready to respond cheerfully to all calls for assistance in times of sickness and death.
