Rita Parsons generously donated this beautiful painting of Chalfant Church to the Chalfant Society . It was painted by Harry Berkdoll in 1981. Mr Berkdoll was the husband of Evelyn McMorris Berkdoll (great aunt of Rita Parsons). Evelyn’s mother Mrs. G. H. (May) McMorris was an active member of Chalfant Church. She passed away in 1928 and is buried in the Chalfant cemetery. We are very grateful to Rita for gifting the painting.
