Notes |
- Notes from "Commemorative Portrait and Biographical Record of Kane and Kendall Counties, Ill.: Simon E. Chaffee is a respected citizen of this county, and a successful farmer, residing on Section 21, Campton Township, where he was born November 21, 1845. Simon E. was reared on a farm, being educated in the district schools, and at an early age began farming for himself on a portion of the old homestead. His possessions include 135 acres of land, well cultivated and improved, upon which he keeps an average of forty head of fine graded cattle for dairy purposes.
March 26, 1867, he was united in marriage with Sarah E. Woodman, a native of Grafton County, N.H., born Feb 28, 1848, the daughter of Joseph and Eleanor (Barnard) Woodman, who were also early settlers in Kane County. Mr. and Mrs. Chaffee's family circle has been brightened by the advent of seven children: Anna E., Everett S., John W., Grace H., Eleanor M., (who died January 17, 1884), Earl G., and Mabel E. During the Civil War, Mr. Chaffee served in the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Illinois Infantry, Company F, also about one year after the close of the war in the Freedman's Bureau. In 1875 he was elected treasurer of the school fund, which office he has held twelve years; he has also been town clerk for ten years, and five years ago was elected supervisor, which office he now holds. He is a Republican in polities. Mr. and Mrs. Chaffee are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which they are held in high esteem. Mr. Chaffee having been trustee and steward since the erection of the present building....
