1 page
Susan Torrey Revere Chapin was born on July 11, 1865, in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of John Revere and Susan Tilden Revere. She was the sister of Lady Grace Linzee Osler (1854-1928). In 1887, she married Henry Bainbridge Chapin (1857–1910). Together with her husband, they were involved in the founding of the Faulkner Hospital in Boston. She was a dedicated Board member and supporter of the hospital. She died in 1893.
Letter to Katharine Stone Crowell Cushing from Susan Revere Chapin, The Copse, Hamble, Southampton, England. Chapin writes of Revere's death, of the comfort it has brought his grieving parents to know that Cushing was by his side when he died. She writes that Osler seems to be shrinking away and that Grace's face is sad beyond words. Chapin worries that she has been a burden to Grace, and hopes to join the war-effort in France.
