Wiemar Mercury Newspaper - June 9, 1906
After a lingering illness George S. Chapman of the
Osage Community passed into the great beyond at 11
o'clock last Wednesday night. Mr. Chapman is one of
Colorado County's oldest and most sincere characters
and has devoted friends everywhere in this part of
Texas, who have received the news of his departure
with sincere regret. He is the father of seven
children, six boys and one girl, all of whom are grown
and reside in this county. He is also an uncle of our
townsman, S.D. Chapman. Funeral service were
conducted by Rev. J.E. Buck at the grave in the Osage
cemetery at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. To the
grieved ones the Mercury joins numerous friends in
offering condolence.
1889 Bastrop Advertiser
Third Annual Reunion Green's Brigade.
Members of Green's Brigade Association say that the
reunion held there last week was in every
respect a greater success than any reunion heretofore
held by the association, that the
attendance was larger, that the work done was more
satisfactory and that the entertainment
received was more royal. Certain it was athat old
BAstrop did her very best and she flatters
herself that she gave a reception to the old soldiers
not unworthy their deeds in war or their
achievements in peace.
The various committees to whom had been entrusted the
entertainment of the distinguished
visotors had been actively at work for two or three
weeks, and on the morning of the 20th,
everything had been done which it was possible to do
up to that time, except the decoration in
the streets. This was now begun i nearnest and before
night all the houses on Main street were
beautifully decorated with flags and evergreens; the
streets were swept as clean as could be,
and triumphant arches were erected at Elzner's and at
Theilman's corner, each side bearing
in large letters, the word WELCOME.
The first of the veterans to arrive were President R.
O. Faires and Mr. McDaniel of Flatonia,
on the 9 o'clock train on the morning of the 20th.
These were followed by a delegation of
about fifteen from Austin, who arrived on a freight
train at 2pm. None of these had been
expected at the hour at which they arrived, and the
recption committee was not at the depot
when they came in. When their arrival was made known
they were received with coulialty?. A
dinner at the Iron Front restaurant was served and
each soldier assigned a comfortable home.
Among the Austin delegation was ? familiarly known as
Old Gotch. Many of our people were
personally acquaint4ed with the brave old soldier and
he assured he was treated royally.
Among them was also Major Haywood Brahan, an exmember
of Hood's Brigade, and a most excellent
gentleman.
At 6:30pm, Sayers Rifles, under command of Capt. Batts
and the Bastrop Brass Band, under
leadership of Alf Jung, formed at the court house and
marched to the depot to aid the reception
committee in properly receiving the large delegation
of veterans that was expected from
Washington and adjoining counties. Including the
Brenham Brass Band (15 men) there were
about onehundred visitors on this train. The Bayonets
of the military company had to be
brought into requisition to prevent confusion so large
was athe crowd at the depot, not
withstanding all that could be done it was some time
before all the guests of the town
could be given places. A presession was here formed
which marched to town and dispotsed at
reunion headquarters. The military company broke ranks
after receiving orders to report
again for duty at 8 o'clock across from LaGrange being
?.
The boys were promptly on hand and waited until the
train arrived at 10 o'clock. This train
brought about twenty five visitors from Colorado and
neighboring counties, among whom were
Misses Nettie and Ida Little of Colombus In the
meantime veterans who had already arrived
were together in bunches all over town and a large
number congregated at the reunion
headquarters, where tales of the great war were
retold, deeds of valor recalled and fitting
tributes paid to courage and devotion.
The weather Friday morning was of a neutral character,
everything else, everybody else, looked
joyous bright, happy. At an early hour old soldiers
from the country began to arrive, and
before long the red badges worn by exsoldiers not
members of Green's Brigade, out numbered
the blue badges which indicated members of that
gallant command. White badges showing soldiers
sho had been wounded were in great number too, and
told of wounds received on almost every
battle field from Gettysburg to ValVerde.
The 9 o'clock train brought in a large delegation from
LaGrange, including John T. Harwell,
secretary of the association, and Hon. Johnathan Lane.
The following ladies gave grace and
beauty to the delegation; Mrs. Phelps, an honorary
member of the assiciation, Misses
Harwell, Dunn, Schuhmacher, Killough, Ledbetter, Dora
dn Augusta Willenberg.
Anxious to dispatch as soon as possible the business
of the association, President Faires
changed the program heretofore printed, and called a
meeting of the members of the association
at 9:30 o'clock, at the opera house, the following
officers answering to roll call; W. P.
Hardeman, commander; R. O. Faires, president; D
Corwin, W. L. Davidson, J. W. Carson, H. G.
Carter, Vice-presidents; J. T. Harwell, secretary; T.
Johnson, treasurer. Committees were
appointed to draft resolutions on death of Jefferson
Davis; to draft resolutions on death of
members of association; and to draft by-laws. The
association then adjourned to 11 o'clock.
A few minutes after eleven the business of the
association was resumed, members in attendance
having in the meantime enrolled their names as
follows:
R. O. Fairis, Company I 5th Flatonia
John T. Harwell, A 5th LaGrange
P. J. Oaks, A 5th Columbus
F. G. Murphy, A 5th Austin

Notes for ELEANOR A. LIDE:
Wiemar Mercury Newspaper - September 21, 1923
Mrs. Chapman, widow of the late George Chapman, an
old-time resident of the Osage community, died Friday
last at the home of her son, J.L. Chapman, at Garwood,
and the remains were brought to Osage Satruday
afternoon and laid to rest. Mrs. Chapman was about 75
years of age at the time of her death, and had been in
ill health for some time past, hence her death was not
unexpected. Several sons and one daughter survive.
Mrs. Chapman, during her residence in the Osage
community ever proved a good friend and neighbor, is
still favorably remembered by many of the old-time
residents of that section, and her death is deeply and
sincerely deplored. Our deep sympathy goes out to the
bereaved ones.

Bettye and list,
Fields C Chapman died in 1921 in Chatooga County at
Berryton. Louis Milam,
who married Fields C Chapman's oldest daughter Julia
and was my gg
grandfather, moved from Taylorsville in Bartow
County to Chatooga County at
Springfield after Julia died in 1904, probably to be
near his father-in-law
Fields S. Chapman.
I think George S Chapman probaly died in Lumpkin
County. US Census 1900
Lumpkin Co, shows George S Chapman, 80 years old, in
house 146, with another
George Chapman shown in 136. Also in house 146 is
Georgia A Chapman, b May,
1847, George's daughter, Fields' sister. She
apparently never married.
George S Chapman may have had brothers Joe, John and
Isaac. No info on Joe.
Isaac was father of Reese, Leonard and Henson. John
father of Jane Chapman,
who married Unknown Hulsey. I have Jane's children
as Emma, Effie, Samual
Tilden, Franklin, Charles, Asa Candler.
My George S Chapman or Fields C Chapman did not go
to Gilmer County it
seems, although a Fields Chapman, not apparently
directly related, did so.
This was son of Henson son of Isaac Chapman I
believe.
Have to keep looking!
Jack
