In further studying this family I discovered that Maude was the granddaughter of this Hans and Holmfridur Johnson she is buried beside. Maude and her brother and parent's and grand parents are all in the same Plot in this cemetery.
After Maude's father, Frank Clapp, was murdered in MN. Maude's mother moved to OR. Maude's mother, Sarah, remarried to a Fred Alvord and Maude married Benjamin Chappell. After Maude died her husband, Benjamin Chappell, also remarried. There is nothing in the paper about any tragic death of Maude so she probably died of some disease like TB or some other deadly disease of that era. Maude's mother remarried to Fred Alvord in MN in 1899 before they came to OR. I don't know if Fred Alvord legally adopted Maude and her little brother Chester "Alvord" or if they were just given the name Alvord? Chester is buried next to Maude with the name Chester Alvord. Chester is on the 1910 census as Chester Clapp. But then that was an obvious mistake on the census since Frank Clapp died in 1897 so could not possibly have been Chester's father so Chester was indeed the son of Fred Alvord.
CHAPPELL--On April 20, at Goldendale, Wash., Maude Alvord Chappell, beloved wife of Benjamin E. Chappell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvord of this city. The funeral services will be conducted tomorrow (Friday), April 23,, at 2 P.M., from the funeral parlors of A.D. Kenworthy & Co., 5802-04 Ninety-second Southeast, in Lents. Friends invited to attend. Interment Mount Scott Park cemetery.
