MISS GRACE E. CHAMBERLAIN
Once more the community has been called upon to say farewell to one of the few remaining older residents of Wyoming, in the passing of Miss Grace E. Chamberlin, May 6, 1936, being in her eighty-fifth year. She was born in Middlebury township September 1, 1851, being the daughter of Harrison and Caroline (Surdam) Chamberlain and entered the better life at the Baptist Home in Fairport, N.Y.
Her entire early life was spent in or near the vicinity or her birth, on the farm settled by her grandfather, Reuben Chamberlain. In 1802, he being one of the first settlers in the Holland purchase. She received her education in the district schools, and the old Middlebury Academy. She could recall much of the early history of Wyoming and LeRoy as related by their uncle, Hinds Chamberlain, pioneer of LeRoy, who was a frequent visitor at her father's home.
Those who knew her esteemed her as woman of superior natural endowments and moral culture. In her profession of nursing she gained the affection of those to whom she ministered. Her memory is still cherished by those remaining with us who knew her many years ago. She was conscientious and sincere in her beliefs, strong in integrity and in religion a devout Baptist.
About fourteen years ago she entered the Baptist Home in Fairport, and in its pleasant environment, its spiritual and cultural atmosphere, she spent her last days, and was tenderly ministered to. She was a valued and useful member of the Home, always active in its various functions. It could truly be said she was active in every good work.
Of her lineage it may be said she was a direct descendant of Isaac Allerton of the Mayflower. She was a great granddaughter of Reverend Henry Chamberlain an early Baptist minister of Orwell and Panton, Vermont, and Capt. Ebenezer Sumner of Wells, Vermont, both soldiers of the American Revolution. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family, an aged sister having passed away during the last year.
Her body was brought to Wyoming for burial May 8, and placed beside those of her Father and mother to await the resurrection morn.
Not for the pious dead we weep;
Their sorrows now are o'er.
The sea is calm, the tempest past,
On that eternal shore.
Their peace is sealed, their rest is sure,
Within the better home;
Awhile we weep and linger here,
Then follow to the tomb.
