Birth day and household. The social security application of Jessie Blanche Morrill, alias Jessie Chapman, gives her birth as 24 November 1882 at Demster, South Dakota, and her parents as Laura Ryan and Almond H. Morrill. The 1910 census at Fergus Falls lists Jessie, 27 and single, in the household of A. H. and Laura Morrill with siblings Fila, Cyrus and George.
