NOTE Oscar B. Chapman registered for the draft in Marion Co, Oregon in 1918. He gave his birthdate as 25 Dec 1882 and his nearest relative as his wife Mabel. He was undoubtedly the Oscar B. Chapman who died 9 Dec 1962 at Springfield, Greene Co, Missouri. His death certificate gives birthdate as 25 Dec 1882 and occupation as baker, but says he was born near St Joseph, Missouri.
DISCREPANCY Mabel’s obituary names a niece Mabel Fenner, but the census show the elder Mabel was an only child.
