Chapin, Clarence E. ( - 28 Apr 1899)


Clarence E. Chapin, a young attorney of Colby and a son of E. E. Chapin, a prominent lawyer of Milwaukee, took his own life on Thursday of last week, by the morphine route. The deed was committed while he was visiting in Milwaukee, and is supposed to have been caused by despondency over financial and business troubles. He had been located in the practice of law at Colby for about six months, having gone there from Marshfield.

The Colby Phonograph concludes its account of the suicide with the following remarks: "Clarence E. Chapin came to Colby last November and opened a law office. He was hard up and despondent from the start. Our citizens extended to him the hand of friendship, but he went wrong. He was a bright young man and could have worked up a fine practice had he attended strictly to business."

He left for Milwaukee about two weeks ago, giving no intimation but what he would return.
