Headstone in Tumwater, Washington for John R. Chaplin, Ohio Prohibitionist who founded a short-lived People's University in Olympia, Washington. A member of his circle, Arthur S. Caton, ran for Governor under the Prohibition Party banner a couple years after John died. I had no idea Mr. Chaplin died so young until I came across this grave by accident. His untimely death explains why the University failed to last.
