(photo kindly provided by Don Calloway) Chester W. Chapin (February 16, 1842 - November 11, 1922) The epitaph "Home is the sailor, home from the sea, and the hunter home from the hill" is from the "Victory Crowned - Requiem" written by Robert Louis Stevenson. In its entirety it is as follows: Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me die Glad did I live and gladly die And I lay me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me- Here lies where he longed to be, Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.

Notes: 228 Chicopee Street contact info: Cemetery Department 687 Front Street Chicopee MA 01013 (413)594-3481 Chicopee Street: For more than sixty years, the people of Chicopee continued their connection with the old First Church in Springfield, finding their way on foot, or on horseback, fording the Chicopee River, at the Indian Wading Place, or smetimes going by canoe down the Connecticut. The sabbath services and the weekly lectures were their edification and delight. Their lives were regulated by its ordinances and discipline; and when death came, they were laid to rest in the Old Burying Ground at the foot of Elm Street on the banks of the Connecticut. The names Japhet and Abilene, his wife, may still be seen on the old headstones in Peabody Demetery. They were removed when the building of the railroad made it necessary to discontinue the old burying place. " Annals of Chicopee Street Clara Skeele Palmer Harvard College Library page 20 Rootsweb message board: "Chicopee Cemeteries Notes: The earliest cemetery was established at the foot of Elm Street in Springfield. The "Old Burying Ground" was Chicopee's colonial cemetery on Chicopee Street (where all the Chapins are buried) -- first buried there was Miss Sarah Hitchcock in 1741. Thanks to Gail Ferris for contributing this information. The "Old Burying Ground" was Chicopee's colonial cemetery. The first burial dates back to 1741."
