He left West Virginia for California about 1850, but soon returned and located in Iowa in 1853. On the 5th of April 1855, occurred the happy event of his marriage to Miss Nancy Jane Nelson. Together they began life on the farm that has been their home till their separation by death; the forty-eight years being hallowed by the dearest companionship. Of the ten children born to them, only six remain to mourn the loss of their father; Mrs. Martha A. Miller, Cambria, Iowa, Mrs. Marilda Kirby, Seymour, Iowa, Mrs. Fanny Steele, Chariton, Iowa, Mrs. Naomi Clark, Corydon, Iowa, Lou Chapman, Cambria, Iowa and Ed. Chapman, Fredonia, Kansas. Mr. Chapman was converted when quite young and united with the Disciples. The firm Christian character seen in later years was developed first when in the West. Not withstanding the temptations he kept his faith in God and did not neglect his bible and secret prayer. After his marriage he united with the Baptist church at Hammock school house. Later he was identified with the church of Cambria where he has been highly esteemed all these years. As a citizen he was highly respected. His name stood for honor in all the relationships of life! His devotion to his family and every good work has endeared him to a host of friends. He had purchased property in Humeston where he expected to locate in a short time. He was ill only nine days and from the first seemed beyond the reach of medical aid, though everything that could be done was done by loving hearts and hands. On the 23rd of January he peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, after assuring his friends that all was well. During his illness he was so patient and kind. The faith of his young manhood became his staff and comfort in the hour of death. Surly he "fought a good fight and kept the faith." His death was a fitting response to the beautiful words of Bryant; "So live that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan that moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go, not like the quarry slave, at night, scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by thy unfaltering trust; like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams" The funeral services were conducted from the home on Sunday morning, January 25, at eleven o'clock, by the pastor, Rev. J.M. Whistler, assisted by Rev. A. E. Clemens, of Seymour. Friends from far and near gathered to pay their last respects to one of the most valued citizens in our county. The relatives from a distance were Louis Nelson, Oskaloosa, Iowa, French Nelson, Allerton, Iowa, Mrs. Betty Evans, Leon, Iowa, brothers and sisters of Mrs. Nelson. The body was laid to rest in the Cambria Cemetery.
