Again to all Chalfant Family researchers - W. A. Chalfant of Bishop, California was a very well known newspaperman and puiblisher of several books. Wrote THE STORY OF INYO in 1922, and also DEATH VALLEY THE FACTS. His father was Pleasant Arthur Chalfant who was an early 49er to California. Don't know where the father came from but I might be able to locate a source if anyone is interested. W.A. (William) Chalfant died in 1943. Hope this is of interest to someone Helen Weals -----Original Message----- From: Julia A.

The Olde Fort Steuben project which has been digging in an area of land which was previously owned by a Nellie A. CHALFANT. Nellie appears as owner in a 1902 Atlas Map of Steubenville, OH on 125 N. High Street. They are very curious about her and her life. I believe they have found some personal items which they feel belong to her. Have you ever heard of a Nellie A CHALFANT? Julia
