CLARENCE E. GRIFFIN, ESQ.

CLARENCE E. GRIFFIN, son of Enoch and Irene (Eaton) Griffin, was born Dec. 22,
1852, in Cornwallis, N. S. His parents were of a New England ancestry. His
great-grandfather was Eli Griffin, of Stamford, Conn. In early boyhood Mr.
Griffin worked on his father's farm in the summer and attended school in the
winter. When eighteen years old he commenced teaching the winter term of school.
Three years later he began to prepare for college, and September, 1875, entered
Acadia College in Wolfville, King's County, N. S. He remained out one year, and
graduated in 1880. He taught for a year, and in 1881 entered Harvard Law School,
Cambridge, Mass., where he remained through the winter, and taught school in
Franklin and Medfield while pursuing his legal studies under G. W. Wiggin, Esq.,
of Franklin. He was admitted, Oct. 6, 1885, to the Norfolk County Bar, and
opened a law office in Medway and in Franklin. Mr. Griffin by his scholarly
attainments, his Christian character, and genial manners has already made
certain the respect, the confidence and favorable opinion of the community, and
his success in his chosen profession it is easy to predict.
