From Ingham and Eaton Co., MI History
Almon M. CHAPIN, a native of Massachusetts, and for some time a resident of Livingston Co., N.Y., (had lived also in Onondaga County), left the latter State with his family in December, 1842, and came with teams through Northern Ohio to Michigan, the trip occupying eighteen days. The household goods had been sent by water to Detroit. The family arrived in Vevay on or about the 1st of January, 1843, and moved into a log house which was built by William AUSTIN and was then vacant. The snow lay very deep on the ground, and, soon after they occupied the house and built a fire therein, the melting snow broke down the roof. It was repaired, and the family lived in the house until the following October, when they moved into a frame house, which is now the rear portion of the dwelling occupied by Mr. CHAPIN's widow and family. The fine grove in front of the house at present consists of natural trees, which were left purposely when the place as first occupied. A burning log-heap in front of the house destroyed a portion of them (the trees being then but saplings), but enough were preserved to make a beautiful grove, which is now the pride of the locality. Mr. CHAPIN was a model citizen, and one of the most prominent in the township. His death occurred on the 5th of September, 1878, in his home at Chapin's Station, or "Eden."
