I have two original studio photographs of these brothers: "Floyd Alonzo Chapin",
taken in Flint, MI, and "Harry Chapin", taken in Detroit, MI. I would like to
get these back to descendants or family members. Photos were taken in about era of
1905-1915, and they look to be in their 20s-early 30s.
I found them in the 1900 census as sons of Addison and Minnie Chapin in Fenton (Genesee
Co.) MI; Floyd was age 30 (May 1870), a school teacher, and Harry was 14 (Apr 1886). In
1910, Harry W. was 24, living in Detroit, a stenographer in a tobacco house. In 1930,
Harry was married, living in Detroit. In 1910, Floyd was bookkeeper in Fenton, with wife
Olive (Robinson). In 1920, he was city postmaster Fenton. In 1930, he was bank president
in Fenton.
Get back to me at margerice(a)prodigy.net if you are related to Floyd Alonzo or Harry W.
Chapin.
