"Nelson Charles Chapman, who died at his home in Gilbertsville on Monday, April 26th, after an illness of only three days' duration, was the son of Nelson Clarke Chapman and his wife, Elizabeth Ann Gilbert. He was born at Oxford, New York, on November 3d, 1850. When he was seven his family moved to Wisconsin and he was left to spend the winter in Gilbertsville with his grandparents at the old Stone House. In 1859 the family settled in St. Louis, where his father took charge of the Eau Claire Lumber company's interests in that city. He was educated at Harvard and Heidelberg, Germany, and was widely traveled. Gilbertsville, the home of his boyhood, was so beloved by him that early in life he expressed a desire to have a home here and has been a summer resident ever since 1887. He never tired of the beautiful hills and valleys and it is well that his last conscious moments were spent there. He was the last of his own immediate family and the oldest living grandson of Deacon Gilbert at the time of his death." ["The Otsego Farmer & Republican" (Cooperstown, NY), Fri., May 7, 1915, p. 7]
