User:KylieTastic was his father Stephen N. Chism? Is Dr. Stephen N. Chism House the NRHP home noted?

  • FloridaArmy unclear - this says "S. H. Chism" and this say "Chism, Dr. Stephen N.", but this says "Stephen H. Chism". Findagrave says it is "Stephen Howard Chism" (but has no source or grave image). I would normally look to check the contemporary newspapers, but the access to newspapers.com is currently broken. this lists "S. H. Chism" as a senator 1848/9. So it looks like the NRHP is probably a typo or based on some sloppy handwritten document. KylieTastic (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Also found Image 1 of History of Scott County, Arkansas,. p. 36. Retrieved 4 August 2024. that has "Stephen H. Chism - Boon Township". KylieTastic (talk) 14:53, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks User:KylieTastic. Documentation for this photo negative of the log home identifies it as having belonged to Stephen Howard Chism. I can't find anything on a Stephen N. Chism. I have retitled and done a bit of work on the other entry. Thanks for your help. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:27, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
