The birth date on the stone is WRONG. It should read: Byron W. CHAPIN 8 Nov. 1910 - 16 Sep. 1981. His mother, Emma Jean Baker CHAPIN agreed to tell the Navy he was a year older than he actually was, to get him away from an abusive relationship with his father, Chester John Sylvester CHAPIN. Several other CHAPINs are buried in Cattaraugus Cemetery.
