Lillian "Lilly" Lee Chapline was born 25 November 1869 to William R. Chapline and Margaret Ann Hout Chapline in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
According to an article published in the Shepherdstown Register on December 17, 1896 "much surprise was created in Shepherdstown Tuesday evening [12/15/1896] by the announcement of the marriage of Miss Lillian Lee Chapline and Mr. Allison William Conklin. Miss Chapline is the daughter of our venerable townsman, Mr. William R. Chapline, and the groom is a well-to-do farmer of Prosperity, Washington County, Pa., not far from Pittsburg. The marriage had been kept a profound secret, and it was not until the afternoon of the wedding day that even a hint leaked out; and few persons knew of it until the ceremony was over…It is said that the romance was begun about a year ago, when Mr. Conklin and Miss Chapline met at Harpers Ferry. He spent several days here the past summer, and the details for the happy event were later arranged through correspondence." Lilly was most likely visiting her brother Charles L. Chapline in Harpers Ferry when she met Allison Conklin.
The Conklin's lived in Prosperity, Morris Township, Washington County, Pa. and had two children Cinderella Jane, born 1897, and Benjamin, born 1898. Allison Conklin died in 1911.
An August 1915 article in the Shepherdstown Register reported that Mrs. Conklin and her children spent a couple of days in Shepherdstown visiting her sister, Mrs. John W. Stipp. "They were on their way to Atlantic City, and were making the delightful trip in their automobile, with stops in Washington City and Philadelphia."
In 1917 Lilly applied for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution as a descendant of Jeremiah Chapline (1756-1809), her great grandfather. DAR Member # 132924
By 1923 Lilly had moved to Asheville, North Carolina to be near her daughter Jane. In 1931 she moved to Charlotte, N.C. Lilly died in Charlotte on 8 September 1933 at age 63 years, 10 months, 13 days. The Charlotte News reported that "Mrs. Conklin died in a hospital here yesterday afternoon. She is survived by a daughter, Miss Jane Conklin, a son, D.G. Conklin, of Elm Grove, W.V. and a sister Mrs. Sarah C. Staley." Burial was made in Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte, N.C.
