Leonard Bond Chapman, son of Henry and Hannah (Bond) Chapman, was
born on his father's farm on Congress Street in Stroudwater Village
in the town of Deering, Maine (now known as Portland). Here he
listened to stories about his ancestors and other early settlers,
and these stories sparked a lifelong interest in local history and
genealogy. Mr. Chapman was the publisher of the newspaper, The
Deering News during the late 1800s and early 1900s. His most
enduring legacy was "Grandpa's Scrapbook," an article published as
a regular column in this newspaper. This book includes a large
portion of the published Scrapbook articles. Some have been omitted
because the process of mechanical printing for the original
newspaper left some articles unreadable. The surviving articles
should provide today's researcher with a refreshing look into the
local history and genealogies of Portland, Westbrook and
Scarborough, Maine. This book includes a section on the descendants
of Edward Chapman from 1644 up to the mid-1800s, photographs of
Chapman's home and gravesite, and a combined full-name plus subject
index.
