**Note: (The actual year of birth is in question, it could be 1883.  The old records were only kept for periods of time and not specific years.  Death certificate says 1883.  Ade recalls his parents being 7 years apart in age.)

Lindley (“Chappy”) was raised in Oskaloosa, Iowa.  He and his twin brother, Alva, were farmed out to C.F. Madden of Williams, Iowa, as young teens.  (This was a common practice on rural farming communities when parents couldn’t afford to raise all their children.  Oftentimes, this occurred following the death of one parent.)  Lindley is a graduate of Morningside College (6-11-1906) having majored in Chemistry, History and Political Science.  He was an accomplished track star.  He became a teacher and school principal in Kingsley but couldn’t make enough money to support his family, and then worked as a stationary engineer at Seymour Laundry, Sioux City.  He was about to board a troop ship in New York at the time of armistice thus he did not serve in WWI.

Son of David Ora Chapman and Mary Coulson.

Alice graduated from Cedar Falls Teachers College and taught in Sioux City Community Public School System from 1934 – 1952.  Her top salary was $4000 per school year. Alice & Lindley met at Kingsley school where he was a teacher and principal and she, a teacher.  They moved to Sioux City in 1921.

Comment:  Ade says, “It was not NICE for a married mother to work.”  She stopped around the marriage date and resumed following Lindley’s death.  As there was no income during the summer, the boys were usually farmed out to relatives with farms.  Still, there was a perceived prejudice against she and the boys within the neighborhood.  Dad mentioned once that folks just seemed to think she should be able to make ends meet without working.  So, he tried harder and harder to bring home as much as possible to help the household function.
