Register entry 221 - Caroline Kirby Chapleau
Visited the Bell Farm on Aug. 9, 1886 - perhaps while visiting friends in the Regina area from the Chapleaus' previous residence there in the early 1880s - possibly including Major and Katherine Bell.
Caroline Kirby Patten (1846-1918) was reportedly born in Oswego, New York, USA. Both her father (Lieut. Col. G.W. Patten) and her husband (Captain / Brevet Major Samuel Chapleau) were military men, and served in the Army during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Her mother was Sarah T. Smith.
She married Samuel Chapleau in Poughkeepsie, New York, in September 1865, several months after the end of the Civil War. They had one son: Samuel Jefferson Chapleau.
Caroline's husband, Samuel, joined the Canadian federal civil service in 1873, and they lived the rest of their lives in Canada, partly in the West, but mainly in Ottawa, Ontario.
Caroline and Samuel were both buried in Alington National Cemetery, Virginia.
