Transcriber's note: Middle initial taken from Missouri Death Certificate. The Chapin family was in the 1895 census of Winterset. Per an article in the Winterset Reporter, the family moved to Valley Junction in June of 1899. The deceased was born in January 1897 so it is likely, although undocumented, that he was born in Winterset.
