[Uriah Calvin Chapin], a veteran Elder in the Morgan Stake of Zion and a resident of South Morgan, Morgan county, Utah, was born Jan. 25, 1836, near Gallipolis, Ohio, the son of Robert Park Chapin and Elizabeth Farmer. When about eleven years old he removed with his parents to Clyde, Ohio, and in 1850 into the western part of Michigan, where his father farmed one season and then moved to Indiana, where he bought thirteen acres of land and died Feb. 6, 1851. The following season (1852) the widow sold her farm and returned to Clyde, Ohio. Uriah left his mother and her family at that place, March 11, 1854, and started for Utah with his neighbor, Bartlet Brown.

After his arrival in Utah he located at Centerville, Davis county, where he was baptized in the spring of 1855. In 1856 he went to Carson Valley, but returned to Davis county, Utah, in 1857. In 1858 he located at Springville, Utah county, but made his permanent home in Morgan in 1865.

In 1866(Oct. 9th) he married Ann Richardson (daughter of Robert Richardson and Elizabeth Robson), who was born Aug. 25, 1850, in Cramlington, Northumberland county, England, where she was baptized in April, 1861. She emigrated to Utah in 1861, crossing the Atlantic in the ship "Underwriter" and the plains in Milo Andrus's company
which arrived in Salt Lake City September 13, 1861. She located in Morgan county in 1862 where she was an active Relief Society worker, and died Dec. 17, 1911.

Sister Chapin was the mother of six children, namely, Elizabeth Ann (born Nov. 1, 1868), Mary Jane (born Jan. 13, 1871), Ellen Loretta (born March 7, 1873), Joanna Upion (born March 29, 1875), Eliza Selina (born Dec. 11, 1883), and Robert Calvin (born Aug. 8, 1887). Bro. Chapin was ordained a Seventy in 1858 and later a High Priest. His occupation is that of a farmer.
