Last week we published an article relative to the death of Mr. Fred D Champlin, of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], whose promising career was terminated by inflammation of the stomach. We have since learned more of his character and habits, and are prompted to make them known. He was a young man of great promise, an active member of St. Ann's Church, of Afton, an ornament of society, and had hosts of warm friends. He was only about twenty years of age, but had followed the profession of teaching for some time, and had just finished a term in North Sanford when disease laid its deadly hand on his hopeful head, and he was called to "go up higher." His funeral was attended from the church of which he was a member of a vast concourse of relatives and friends. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 8, 1873]
