Funeral Services Held Sunday For Elizabeth Chaffe
Beloved Minden Citizen Succumbs At Home After Illness Of Several Months
Miss Elizabeth Sparke Chaffe, 84, beloved citizen and member of a well-known Minden family, succumbed at her home here at 2:30 p. m. Saturday after an illness of several months.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at five o'clock from St. John's Episcopal church with the Rev. C. C. von Miller, rector, officiating. Interment was in the Minden cemetery with the Dennis funeral home in charge of arrangements.
Miss Chaffe was born in Minden April 8, 1859, the daughter of Christopher Chaffe and Jane Farley Chaffe. She was graduated from the Minden Female College in 1875. A lifelong resident of Minden, she was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church and an ardent and generous worker in all phases of its interests. She loved Minden for all the associations it held for her and for the best things that it has stood for.
She was deeply loved by her friends and her family, to whom her happy nature, her generous sympathy and her courageous Christian spirit are a great legacy. It has been truly said of her:
"I think of one whom we miss in our church today, who did not think the way of Christ impractical, and one who has heard, and answered the call from above. We miss her, not because she was clean in character and fine in spirit; because she put ethics above any desire for wealth; because she was as modest as she was courageous because she habitually exemplified the idea of a Christian gentlewoman - of a real Christian life - and these are the traits we honor most in life.
"Those who knew her best, loved her most, because of these Christian attributes, which at all times and in all places predominated and were her outstanding traits. It is perfectly true that hers was a kind of heart which was a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles, and that gladness was reflective like the light of heaven."
Miss Chaffe leaves her sister, Mrs. R. H. Miller and her nieces and nephews, Joan Chaffe Miller, James Weston Miller, Mrs. Harry Carter Andress, all of Minden; Captain Christopher Caffe Miller, U. S. N. of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. R. Sidney Guenard of Lake Providence; Mrs. G. Kennedy Imbrie of Englewood, New Jersey; Mrs. Thomas B. Lucas of New Orleans; Arthur Chaffe, Aylmer Chaffe, Treeby Chaffe, Jesse Chaffe, all of San Antonio, Texas; and Lloye Chaffe of Los Angeles, California. She leaves also great-nieces and great-nephews whose lives are richer for her love.
