Decatur [IL] Weekly Reporter November 21, 1878
We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Amos Chapman, one of our highly 
esteemed colored citizens, which took place yesterday afternoon, at his late 
residence on Webster street. Mr. Chapman was the junior member of the firm of 
Rogan & Chapman, barbers, and was an industrious, upright citizen. He was 
taken sick with typhoid fever some two months ago, from which he never fully 
recovered. Deceased was one of the charter members of the colored Masonic 
Lodge of this city, by whom he was buried at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The 
brethren of the Lodge were also very attentive to deceased during his 
protracted sickness, and did all they could for the comfort of himself and 
family. He leaves a widow and one child.
