Description	:	From The Nebraska Herald, Plattsmouth, February 12, 1880, transcribed by Linda Berney: A Terribly Sudden Death - The whole town was startled and shocked yesterday by the announcement that the wife of the Hon.

It seems she arose that morning as well as she has been since the birth of her daughter, ten days ago, she ate a hearty breakfast, and remarked that she felt better than usual.

Read More	From The Nebraska Herald, Plattsmouth, February 12, 1880, transcribed by Linda Berney: A Terribly Sudden Death - The whole town was startled and shocked yesterday by the announcement that the wife of the Hon. S. M. Chapman had died almost instantaneously of heart disease. It seems she arose that morning as well as she has been since the birth of her daughter, ten days ago, she ate a hearty breakfast, and remarked that she felt better than usual. Mr. Chapman came down town, and shortly after she passed into another room. In a few moments, Mrs. Putnam, her mother, entered the same room and found her prone on the floor dead. The alarm was instantly given; Mr. Chapman was summoned, being in the Post Office at the time, by the fearful call that the wife he left but a half hour before as well as usual, was dead; medical aid was driven to the house immediately, but of no avail. The spirit had departed once and for all to that land which ne'er returns its visitants, nor gives its secrets to mortal ear. Mrs. Chapman's maiden name was Sarah Putnam, and she was born in Vermont, though married in Plattsmouth about ten years ago. She was a niece of Mrs. Rockwood and Mrs. M. L. White, and came as a member of their family to this town. Deceased was 33 years old last May, and a most estimable wife and mother. Her loss would be felt by her relatives most keenly under any circumstances; but to have her snatched by the whirlwind of death without a second's warning, is grief almost greater than they can bear. The bereaved husband is completely broken down. words of sympathy are useless to assuage such grief but he may rest assured that his friends, and they are the whole people, do most deeply and sincerely sympathize and feel for his deep, deep affliction. All arrangements for the funeral will be left to Hon. Jno. Chapman, his brother, who is now here. The little motherless babe of a week will be taken to the heart of every mother inthe land and the other relatives will look to that higher source for comfort and consolation in this their great bereavement. ------ Samuel, an attorney, and Sarah are found in Plattsmouth in the 1876 Nebraska census with daughter Harriet, age 5, and son Thomas, age 3/12, and Harriet Putnam, age 63, born in Vermont, assumed to be Sarah's mother.
