AN HONORED MAN DEAD.
HON.J.LOGAN CHAPMAN PASSES
AWAY AT DETROIT.
Congressman From the First District -Four
Times-Brief sketch of His Life.
The Funeral.

Hon. j. Logan Chapman, four times
elected to represent the First district
of Michigan in Congress died at Harper
hospital, Detroit, after fighting through
a very severe attack of pneumonia,
which left him in very weak condi-
ton. The end was caused by suffoca-
ton.
John Logan Chapman was born in
Detroit June ,, 1880. He was educated
in the schools there and in the
University of Michigan and was
admitted to the bar in 1854. One OF
his first legal achievements was to
assist in making the treaty of Detroit
with the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians
of Michigan. He has always been
prominent in the profession, taking an
especially high stand as pleader.
Judge Chapman was always active
in politics, a Democrat and friend of
the workingman. In 1853 he was as
sistant clerk in the Michigan house of
representatives. In 1856 he was elected
city attorney of Detroit, and held that
office until 1861. Two years later he
was elected member Of the state leg
islature. In 1865 he was made attorney
for the police board of Detroit. He ran
for congress first in 1866, but was de-
feated. He was elected judge of the
superior court in 1879 and was re-
elected at the end of six years. His
congressional career began with the
Fiftieth congress and continued until
the time of his death.
Judge Chapman was the son of Judge
Henry Chapman, of Michigan, and the
grandson of Judge Nathaniel Chapman,
of Vermont, who was for years a sena-
tor of the United States.

ors for new member when he be-
came a congressman. During his first
term he was a member of the commit
tee on judiciary and of the committee
on foreign affairs. lie was member
of the special committee of the House
TO investigate the famous Reading
strike and the report of that committee
was his work lie was also a member
of the committee on pensions, of which
he became chairman before the close
of his term by reason of the absence of
the regular chairman. He was zeal
Gus in behalf of the bill TO pension the
dependent soldiers and their widows.
lie carried through the house the bill
for lighthouses, fog signals and lines,
several of them in the vicinity of De-
troit. In the last days of the Fiftieth
congress the bill for the appropriation
of ~, 500, 900 for the Detroit public
building was passed. Judge Chapman
being largely instrumental in bringing
about that result. In the succeeding
congresses the member from the First
district of Michigan was prominent.
At home Judge Chapman was one of
the most familiar figures in Detroit.
