Chapman and Laura Dickson, he was born in January 1881.  "Winnie" as he was usually called, was ¼ Native American.  The Native American heritage is easily seen in his sons and even some of his grandchildren. He is buried at Riverview Cemetery in West St. Paul, Minnesota, his stone reads: Winifred E Chapman, 1881-1940 at 59 years.

The 1910 census listed their household in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, however, the image is very faint.  Both Jessie and "Winnie E." stated that this was their second marriage and they had been married for 8 years.  Jessie also stated that she had given birth to 6 children, 5 of whom were living.  The five children listed in the home were: Eunice L., age 7, Herbert A., age 4, Chester age 1 and the two children from her previous marriage, Esther and William Aurandt ages 14 and 13 respectively.  Winifred listed his occupation as a "mason/building".
