LOYD CHAPMAN, liveryman at Corning, was born in Washington county, Ohio in 1845, and was but two years of age when his father died, and eleven years old when his mother followed to the other world, after having removed to Davenport, this State. Loyd therefore practically brought up himself on a farm. He came to Adams county in 1874 and engaged in farming. He was also engaged in veterinary practice for nine years here, and then in the country and adjoining places. In his present livery business he has been engaged also for nine years, and is well known as an accommodating, honest and charitable gentleman. He owns a farm in Carl township, where he has reduced the original wild prairie, being a pioneer in that section. He is a member of the Odd Fellows order, and both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At the age of twenty-three years, in Scott county, this State, he was married to Miss Emily C. Pope, a native of this State, and they have had five children, as follows: Belle, engaged in a store; Isaac Justis, Bertha, Carrie M. and Edna M. In his political principles Mr. Chapman is independent.
