Augustus Champlln.

Mr.. Augustus Champlin, the second son
OF the late Rev. DR.. James 7. Champlin,
for many years president Of Colby Uni
versity, died of pneumonia on Sunday
forenoon at his home on Spring street,
Portland. He had been in i'll health a
little more than week, but it was not
until Saturday morning that unfavorable
symptoms appeared. From that time he
failed rapidly, his constitution, which
was never strong, being unable to resist
the rapid inroads of the disease.
Mr.. Champlin was born in Waterville,
and withEa view to a professional life he
prepared for college at the Waterville aca-
denny, now the Coburn Classical Insti-
tute, and entered Colby University, grad
uating from that institution in 1862. The
year following he taught the Grammar
school in Evansville, Indiana. Then, for
year, he was principal of China
academy, China, Me. Subsequently he
entered upon the study of law, and hav-
ing been admitted to the bar he engaged
in the practice of his profession in Dexter
But finding that he was inclined to- bust
ness pursuits. he turned his attention to
fire insurance, and opened an office in
Bangor. Here he remained until 1878,
when he removed to Portland. At first,
in this city, he was associated with Mr..
Stirling Dow, under the firm name of
Dow and Champlin. Subsequently he
devoted himself tothe adjustment of fire
insurance claims. OF late years he has
been the resident secretary of the North
British and Mercantile Insurance com
pany, and to it's interest he has devoted
himself with painstaking fidelity. His
judgment in all matters pertaining to fire
insurance was frequently sought. In all
his business relations he will be greatly
missed, as also in the wide circle Of
friends he had made in connection with
his business during his residence in Ban
gor and Portland.
