JOHN J. CHAPPELL is one of the most promising of the rising young men of
the county; he was born in Cadiz December 16, 1855, and is a son of John
W. and Sarah (Jefferson) Chappell; his education was received in the
schools of his native town; his first instructor was Prof. F. F. Jones;
among his other teachers were J. J. Nall, Prof. Hancock, Prof. Pomeroy
and Prof. H. B. Wayland.  In 1873 he was a student at the College of Arts'
and Sciences at Lexington, Ky., and graduated from this institution
of learning in the class of 1875; he then returned to Cadiz and entered
his father's store as a clerk in 1876.  He served in that capacity
until January, 1884, when he became a partner in the firm under the title
of J. W. Chappell & Son.  This firm is at present one of the leading
houses of the place.  Mr. Chappell was married in Hopkinsville, Christian
County, March 6, 1884, to Miss Ida, daughter of James O. Cooper, proprietor
of the Phoenix Hotel at that point.
