"THE STORY OF THREE 12 YR. OLD BOYS TRYING TO DIG UP SOLOMEN CHAFFEE'S GRAVE IN
ABOUT 1938. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS THREE STONES STILL STANDING. THE SIDES OF THE
GRAVE WERE LINED BY SLABS OF ROCK. AFTER SEVERAL FEET DEEP THEY WERE SPOOKED AND
RAN TO THE RIVER AND SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY WAITING FOR THE GHOST TO GET THEM."
There is also this under Ithaca Township, Village of Ithaca in the HISTORY OF CRAWFORD AND
RICHLAND COUNTIES WISCONSIN 1884 page 1086.
"The first religious meetings in the town of Ithaca were held in the old building known
as "The Ark," by Rev. Chaffee, a Presbyterian minister. He organized a Presbyterian
class here, the following being among its first members: Charles Devoe and wife,
A H Bush and wife, Samuel Long and wife, Richard Struble and wife, Emanuel Allace
and wife, John Ingraham and wife and Mr. Fox and wife. Charles Devoe was elected
deacon. This class met for worship in "The Ark" until the school house was erected, and
then met there for a few years. Some of the leading members moved away, and finally
this class was united with the Congregationalists."
