General Notes: Wife - Mary "Mollie" Stattenfield

---

Her father was a member of Beulah (Presbyterian) Church, and his children were baptized there and reared according to the tenets of Calvinism. After the Methodist Church was organized in the village of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1843 some of the young people were gradually attracted to it. But her father's aversion was extreme. When his remonstrances failed to convince his daughter, Molly, that the Methodists were a set of "shouting scavengers", whom she was to pass on the other side of the street with averted head, he called to his help the Rev. James Graham of Beulah. Mr. Graham was accustomed to obedience, but Mollie Stattenfield was a chip off the old block, and had a mind as firm as her father's. She took her stand for Methodism, whereupon her father told her to return to Beulah or leave his house. She left her home and lived for a while with friends across the river, teaching meanwhile in country schools. In the course of time she was selected to take charge of a private school for girls that Emory Methodist Episcopal Church in East Liberty was opening. In the church she met the Honorable Samuel Chadwick, a pillar of Methodism. She became his third wife and found scope for her boundless energy in home and church activities. She lived to a great age, and spent her last years in the home of her only daughter, Bertha Chadwick McKee (Mrs. Frederick W. McKee).
