I have not posted very much and am sorry if I was so vague. There is a small newspaper called Wenatchee World that seems to have obituaries, but the online archives only goes back to 1992. Using the webite barbara provided these seem to be the family
http://www.wags-web.org/obits/c.html
CHAPMAN, Clay M 051 1960 Wenatchee Daily World, Wenatchee, WA
CHAPMAN, Georgia 100 1956 Wenatchee Daily World, Wenatchee, WA
CHAPMAN, Charles H 056 1938 Wenatchee Daily World, Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA
CHAPMAN,Wayne D-50 050 1987 Wenatchee World, Wenatchee, WA
CHAPMAN,Marcus-37 037 1976 Wenatchee World, Wenatchee, WA
I have found the obituaries after 1992 in the archives of the Wentatchee world. Which include:
CHAPMAN, Marguerite E Adkins 062 1996 Wenatchee World, Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA
CHAPMAN, Frank S. 256 2000 Wenatchee World, Wenatchee, Chalan Co., WA
CHAPMAN, Wayne Marcus 042 2000 Wenatchee World, Wenatchee, Chalan Co., WA
Since my original post, I have found a living descendent of Frank S Chapman who has provided information about some of the marriages and children of these chapmans. I know little about Georgia Belle Chapman (saw her death cert stating her father was Frank A Chapman) and this living descendent did not know her as family. also was told that Clay was injured by a kick to the head by a horse which caused him some impairment. was told that Marcus had son Wayne who was the fire chief in Wenatchee.
The parents Frank a and Eva alford chapman (d.1916 and 1909) in Odessa WA. I found that Frank remarried after Eva died and when he died shortly after, the family split up. I found that a cluster of Frank's and Eva's children lived in Chelan until they died. Elsie Chapman Cordick abandonded her children and they are found in the 1930 census in orphanages. I have also found since my orignal posting on the Wenatchee world site an article about Frank S chapman when he turned 90
