 DOCTOR WILL E. CHAPMAN, while not among the old practitioners of the county, has,
by close attention to the duties of his profession and a remarkable success in
grappling with the dread destroyer, death, taken a prominent position among the
medical fraternity of this county, and ranks high in the estimation of the
community.

   Dr. Chapman is a native of Hill, Merrimack county, N. H., born February 9, 1857,
and is the son of John W. and Charlotte (Taplin) Chapman, natives of New Hampshire
and New York respectively. Our subject received his primary education and was reared
among the hills and valleys of the “Granite State,” upon the paternal acres. At the
age of fifteen years he entered a drug store, where he remained about two years.
Having then attained a sufficient age, he matriculated at the medical department of
the Vermont State University, at Burlington, Vt., and after a rigid course of study
was graduated from that celebrated institution of learning, in July, 1879. The next
year he located at North Branch, Chisago county, Minn., where he was engaged in the
practice of his chosen profession for about two years. In 1882 he came to Meeker
county, and opened an office in Forest City, but, after two years’ labor in that
field removed to Litchfield, and, commencing practice here, has rapidly grown into
favor with the people of the city and the surrounding country. His pleasant manners
in the sick room, his love for his calling and his rare judgment in diagnosis are
fast gaining him friends and patrons, and by careful study to keep abreast of the
times he merits the warmest encomiums.

  The Doctor assumed the duties of matrimony December 24, 1883, while a resident of
Forest City, on which day he led to the hymeneal altar Miss Georgie Kimball, a
native of New Hampshire and a daughter of Edwin and Phoebe (Manwell) Kimball.
