Faith
7
This c. 1810 cottage was built on Bear Creek southeast of present Chapin by the family of Daniel Koon (1810-1876), who, with a succession of three wives, fathered 14 children. Self-taught, he spoke four languages and was well known for his talent in "using," a folk practice of faith-healing brought to the Dutch Fork by German settlers and widely practiced here until modern times.
