You need to use 'Section' to restart numbering for footnote/endnote.
Insert -> Section... -> Footnotes/Endnotes

Put each chapters into separate section.

1. Insert -> Section... and optionally change settings for
   Footnotes/Endnotes
2. A section inserted above your cursor.
3. You need move cursor one line up in order to move in newly created
   section.
4. Enter your contents.
5. For next chapter/section, make sure move out of your section
6. Repeat from step 1

How do you know which section you are in?
Make sure 'Status Bar' is visible. (View -> Status Bar) You will see 
current name of section in the status bar.

If you already have all contents,

1. Selection/highlight target chapter/texts
2. Insert -> Section... -> Footnotes/Endnotes
3. Selected chapter/texts will be separated into different section
4. Default section name is section 1, section 2, etc. Diligently rename
   them according to your context. This will easy navigating different
   parts of your document


If you need to modify existing section,

1. Goto Format -> 'Sections...'
2. Select problematic section (if you renamed them, choosing target
   section is easy)
3. Click 'Options...' to edit settings

Section can be nested meaning a section can contain other sections. Be 
careful not to nest sections unless your document structure demands it.

A note, <Ctrl>-A in a section will only selects contents in that 
section, not whole document.
