Judge Chapman Dead

	Mr. Daniel Chapman, one of the oldest and best known residents of St. Joseph
and Berrien county, died at his home this morning.  About ten weeks ago Judge
Chapman contracted a cold which proved to be incurable and which diminished his
strength from the first.  He gradually grew worse day by day and passed
peacefully away at the time mentioned.
	Judge Chapman was one of the pioneers of St. Joseph, coming here from
Massachusetts in 1848.  He was born in Newmarket, N.H., in Aug. 1814.  Soon
after coming to St. Joseph he engaged in the lumber and saw mill business, but
soon sold out to the late A.H. Morrison and removed to Chicago in 1853, where he
resided until 1860, when he returned to St. Joseph.  He was for some years in
partnership with Mr. Morrison in the dry goods business; and during his earlier
residence he was closely identified with the progress and prosperity of this
village.
	He served a number of terms on the board of supervisors of Berrien county, and
in 1868 was elected Probate Judge, holding that office for eight successive years.
	Deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs. Dr. Stratton, of this place, and Miss
Minnie Chapman, who has faithfully cared for her father in his declining days. 
He was also a brother of Mr. Warren Chapman, who is in feeble health at present
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Smith.
	In the death of Judge Chapman St. Joseph loses an honored and exemplary citizen
and his demise creates a feeling of profound sorrow throughout the village and
wherever he was best known.—Benton Harbor Palladium of Saturday.
