Born January 29, 1907, Franny, the daughter of Frederick and Charlotte (Young) Moore, was born and brought up in Norway, Maine. She married Alexander Hamilton Chapman of Springfield, Mass. in 1925. After living several years in Oklahoma, Alec, a petroleum engineer with Standard Oil, was assigned to Bucharest, Romania, where the Chapmans lived for eight years before being transferred to London, England. During this time they traveled extensively throughout Europe and the near east. They lived there into the war years, being forced to return to America in 1941. Once back in this country, the Chapmans lived in Washington, DC, New York City and for two years, in Portland, Maine, where Alec oversaw the construction of the pipeline from Maine to Montreal.
In 1935, the Chapmans bought land in Chocorua and built a cabin on Page Hill where they spent their holidays. Over the years, Alec made several additions to the original structure, resulting in a striking contemporary residence with a breathtaking view. In 1970, they purchased land in the village next to the Nickerson-Linder House, where they built their retirement home.
A "woman for all seasons," Franny was an avid reader, master gardener, superb cook and poetess. A nature lover, she was a preservationist and lover of animals, especially German shepherds. While in Europe, she visited Fortunate Fields in Switzerland, resulting in breeding and training seeing-eye dogs. While living in Chocorua, she continued this affiliation through Morris Frank in Morristown, N.J. She was a member of the Poetry Society of New England and published a well-received book of poetry in 1966 entitled "Time for Tea".
Franny is survived by a cousin, Marion Smith of Norway, Maine, and numerous nieces and nephews
