Mrs. Narcissa Champlin, daughter of Joseph Stanton and Olive (Coon) Crandall, was born in Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., November 26, 1829, and died May 8, 1913.
When about nine months old her parents moved to Genesee, Allegany Co., where she lived about twenty-one years and was there married to Green Champlin and came to live in Alfred, which has since been her home. When fifteen years old, she was baptized by Rev. Henry Green, and united with the second Seventh Day Baptist church of Genesee, where she continued a member until 1898, when she became a member of the second Alfred church of the same faith.
She had five brothers - Morris, Leroy, Daniel, Samuel and Orson; also three sisters - Mrs. Cornelia Prosser, Mrs. Jane Champlin, who is the only one living and who attended her sister's funeral, and Mrs. Janet Coon. Sister Champlin had three children, all of whom ate living at or near Alfred Station - Mrs. Ida E. Vincent, Mrs. Viola Janet Brown, and Floyd S. Champlin; also five grandchildren.
Our sister had been poorly since the first of the year and gradually failed until the peaceful end came. She will be remembered as a good mother and grandmother. She believed in going to church, and was a member of late of the home department of the Sabbath school.
