Charles Ward Chappelle (1872-1941)〔
*"Charles Chappelle Deeply Mourned." ''The Pittsburgh Courier'' (City Edition, Pittsburgh, PA). Page 2. March 1, 1941.〕 was an early 1900s African-American aviation pioneer and medal winner, electrical engineer, and businessman who was president of the USA’s African Union Company, Inc., whose mission in the early 1900s was to create small, modernized African cities for blacks with leased land from the Gold Coast (British colony) of West Africa.〔“Mr. C.W. Chappelle: The Man, His Life, His Work And His Aspirations,” ''The Gold Coast Nation,'' Page 3, June 28, 1919. Ghana〕 Several hundred thousand dollars in capital was raised during that time period for construction and modernization on the Gold Coast (British colony) through the stock market, and infrastructure metal deals were made with companies such as U.S. Steel.〔“Business Increasing in Africa. African Union Company Meeting with Great Success” News/Opinion, ''Savannah Tribune''. Page 1. September 28, 1922. Savannah, Georgia〕 In the beginning of Chappelle's business, he was reported to have made contracts with 82 tribal chiefs in Gold Coast, West Africa, for the exportation of gold, cocoa, rubber, and mahogany. The money was to be used to develop 440 miles with the African Central Railroad and the West Coast Steam and Harbor Company, both African-American and African joint ventures.〔

==Early life==
C.W. Chappelle was one of eighteen children, born in Eatonton, Georgia on July 11, 1872 to African Methodist Episcopal Church (A.M.E. church) Reverend Charles W. Chappelle and Anna Johnson Chappelle. C.W. Chappelle learned his skills by attending Knox Institute in Georgia, and Morris Brown University in Atlanta, Georgia, and several United States correspondence schools. He started earning wages at the age of 10 through odd jobs such as working in lumber yards, brick and mortar positions, and similar. After receiving an education, C.W. Chappelle also worked as a school teacher in White Plains, Georgia. According to the State of Georgia Marriage Certificate (1897), Charles W. Chappelle married "Nita" Blackwell in Georgia and C.W. Chappelle's dad Reverend George W. Chappelle performed the marriage ceremony. U.S. census records (1910) show that C.W. Chappelle lived with his wife Nita in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for several years. Later, single again, Chappelle moved to Brooklyn, New York. C.W. Chappelle traveled to several countries in Africa starting in 1909, and in 1912, media reports show that he worked in Africa for at least eight more years as president of the African Union Company, Inc.〔“Mr. C.W.
