Oregon Brands Recorded January 2, 1941 to April, 1942, Page  218:
Space # 15  (HELP!  I don't know how to read  this brand, but it looks like a 
large backwards letter "C" with  a horizontal line through it, so that it 
looks almost like an  "E".
F. W. & C. D. Chapman; Cottage Grove, Lane  Co.   (Right) R. face  Sheep &  
goats
There is a vertical notch in the left ear & 2 "V" notches  at the top of the 
right ear.
 
You know, that backwards "C" makes sense for a Chapman name.  I don't  know 
how to "read" brands though.  I'm not in law enforcement, but I don't  know why 
your ear marks wasn't proof those were your goats!  It should have  been.  
 
Hey!  My late father-in-law would be proud of me for helping you  folks!  He 
really enjoyed his job and visiting with folks and he loved  livestock!  He 
didn't like the book work though.  I enjoy looking at  the little red book 
because I recognize lots of names from different places we  have lived in Oregon.  
Who would have thought this book would have come in  handy to help people with 
genealogy?  I copied pages from the brand  registration book in La Grande for 
our family members, and this made a fun,  attractive page for our books.  You 
might try checking to see if the Lane  County courthouse has such a book too.

Gerrie;

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the cattle  brand thread because 
I didn't think it would be of more than passing interest  to me, but it just 
occurred to me that you might have a brand registered for  either or both 
Francis Marion Chapman or Clare Decker Chapman in Lane county  sometime between 
1914 or so and when the book was published, though I can't  swear we had a brand, 
I know when the goats were being rustled we had no  "proof" of ownership, 
even when we caught the rustlers red handed with a truck  load of our goats the 
fact they had our ear marks wasn't  "proof."
