HON. JOHN S. CHAPMAN.—Judge Chapman came from Arkansas to Honey Lake valley in
1859. In 1866 he was appointed deputy county clerk, in which position he
continued three years, devoting his leisure hours to the study of the law. In
1869 he was chosen county judge on the democratic ticket, and the following year
was admitted to the bar of the district court. In 1872, the judicial salary
being too small to warrant him in retaining his position, he resigned and began
the regular practice of his profession at the bar. He was a diligent student,
and soon became quite profound in legal lore. Desiring to widen his field of
practice, he removed to Los Angeles in 1879, where his ability has won him
success in his practice before the higher courts.
