  • 😊 Let's start of Monday with another missing Springdale mayor photo search! Throughout August, we’re helping the City of Springdale find missing 📷photographs of several past mayors for its 🗄️ archives, and the Shiloh Museum is lacking as well! Today, we’re looking for C.J. Chapman, who served as mayor from 1890-1894 and 1898-1901. Our information is that he ran an evaporator, was head of the local Shippers' Union, and a Democrat. His full name is believed to be Christopher James Chapman, and his wife's name was Maria. Let us know if you may have a photo!

Shown here is a parade going down Emma Avenue in 1894, when Chapman would have been mayor.
