The Dublin Courier-Herald-December 28, 1899
The city of Dublin was shocked on Friday afternoon when it was announced a few minutes after 3 o'clock that Dr. James T. Chappell had breathed his last.
For some months he had been ill, but it was hoped that his strong will would succeed in throwing off the malady which took him away, but it was too deeprooted to be reached by medicine and careful nursing, and at last his constitution gave way and his spirit winged its flight to the realms of glory to enjoy the fruits of a well spent life.
Dr. Chappell was born in Twiggs County, Georgia, September 10,1830, and came from distinguished lineage, one of his ancestors, Capt.Chappell, having been commander of the "Speedwell," the companion boat to the "Mayflower. Dr. Chappell united himself with Poplar Spring Baptist
Church and at the time of his death was the oldest member of that church. On October 18, 1855, he was married to Miss Harriet Athalia Stanley,daughter of Ira Stanley. He left his widow and five sons to mourn his demise.
When the war between the states began, he joined the forces of his native state and was elected Captain of Company G, 49th Georgia regiment, which was later attached to Anderson's brigade, A. P. Hill's corps, Hampton's legion. He was a brave soldier and with his company
participated in the battles of Seven Pines,Mechanicsvilles, Gaines'Mill, Frazier's Farm, Cold Harbor, Cedar Run and second Manassas. During this last battle he was wounded and upon recovery was transferred to the medical department and made chairman of the conscripting board of the 4th
district of North Carolina with head-quarters in Wilmington. After the war he returned to Laurens Couhty where he practiced medicine and engaged in farming. He was graduated from the college of Physicians and Surgeons
at Philadephia, his preceptor being the eminent Prof. Agnew, who was one of President Garfield's surgeons at the time of his death.
Some years since Dr. Chappell abandoned the practice of medicine,but continued to manage his various farms and other property successfully. He represented Laurens County two terms in the legislature.
His first term was served early after the war's end and his second term but a few years since. In 1891 he moved to Dublin and a short time thereafter was elected an alderman of the city. During his life he held various positions of honor and trust, all of which he filled to the satisfaction of his constituents.
The sincerity of his devotion was the charm of his success. He was prudent, sagacious, laborious and wise. He consulted the people's interest just as he would have done his own. His positions were thoroughly taken, securely fortified and boldly defended. He was a sentinel who never left the post of duty, in the discharge of which he
performed well his part and had left to posterity the results of a useful life, a spotless record and an honored name.
In the death of Dr. Chappell Laurens County loses an upright citizen, the church a faithful and conscientious member, and his family a loving and tender husband. a fond and devoted father.
Funeral services were held over his remains by Rev. R. E.
Neighbour and interment was in the Stanley cemetery twelve miles north of Dublin. He was interred with Masonic honors, being a member of Laurens Lodge # 75 F. &
A. M., and despite the inclement weather a number of friends and acquaintances gathered at the burying ground to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory.
The Courier-Dispatch, in common with all the people of Laurens county, extend to the family and relatives its heartiest sympathy over his death."
