A happy disposition, which has made her many friends and gratification of a healthy appetite without
regard for rules of scientific eating, are remedies given my Mrs. Sarah Chaddock, 97, for a long and
pleasant life. Mrs. Chaddock who has been on a visit of several months with her son, Charles
Chaddock, will shortly make the journey back to her home in Nappanee, Indiana.
Mrs. Chaddock recalls many incidents of her early life in the vicinity of Canton and it was with the
greatest enjoyment that she returned to visit near her girlhood home. In Nappanee she makes her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Belle Kensigner and another son Frank Chaddock who lives in Louisville.
Canton was a village of a few dozen houses when Mrs. Chaddock used to walk from her country home
as a little girl with a basket of eggs for which she was paid three cents a dozen.
During the Civil War, she walked to Canton to get the mail and the postmaster held up a letter from her
brother in the army because she did not have the 50 cents to pay for postage due she relates. She
walked back home securing the money and tramped back to town and then retraced her steps home
with the precious message from the battle front.
Mrs. Chaddock can remember back to the opening of the Harter Bank in Canton and recalls the first
church erected by a Lutheran congregation in that city.
