OBITUARY.
MR. J. R. CHAPMAN.
At the age of 90, a former resident of Mount Barker in the person of Mr. John Reuben Chapman, passed away on August 7 at his daughter's residence, Prospect. His remains were brought to Mount Barker for interment on Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman resided on the property now owned by Mrs. Blades at Teakle Town and he was well known as a gardener. On the death of his wife he moved from Mount Barker, some 30 years ago. The late Mr. Chapman was born in Tasmania in 1834, and, coming to South Australia at the age of three years, was thus a resident for 87 years. There were 13 children as a result of the union, of whom 11 survive. The number of descendants is surprising, as there are 72 living grand children and 59 great-grandchildren,
a total of 131.
John married Jane JEFFREY [1508] [MRIN: 377] on 3 Apr 1855 in Trinity Adelaide. (Jane JEFFREY [1508] was born circa 1835 in England, died on 27 Jan 1901 in Mt Barker, South Australia and was buried in Mt Barker General Cemetery, South Australia.)
