The Chapman Family Home, Barns, and Outbuildings

Their sons, Reuben (my husband's grandfather) and Joe, operated the Capman Brothers General Store and Post Office, shown on the 1880 Census at 6A/Ellis Landing Road. Home still in family - presently Stuart Chapman Anson, my husband. The old homestead and land to the beach is still all owned by various descendents of Reuben and Elizabeth Harden Chapman. The homestead itself is shown in various town records from 1790 through the 1800s. This photo was taken somewhere between 1910 and 1915.

A Ghost Ring Celebrates Halloween
Comments: I have always loved the celebration of Carnivale in Venice. The masks I saw there inspired the ring of ghosts I created for Halloween. The most eerie view of the ghosts is at night when they are lighted by miniature lights and soft breezes make them dance. We've been doing this since 2003.
