Cullen c. Chapman.

Mr.. Cullen C. Chapman, president OF
the Chapman National Bank and one OF
the most prominent business citizens OF
Portland, died at his home Sunday
afternoon, the 22d, after long illness.
He was taken i'll several months ago and
had been gradually failing since that
time. On Friday preceding his death
it was deemed necessary to amputate a
leg in the hope of prolonging his life,
but he failed rapidly and the end came
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Chapman was born in Bethel, Dec.
81, 1888, son of the Hon. Robert A.
Chapman and Florence Carter Chapman.
He was educated at Gould's Academy
and Bridgton Academy. After spending
two years at Bethel in his fathers store,
he moved to Portland and entered flour
and grain store where he showed marked
business ability and in less than a year
became partner with his employer. In
1890 with his brothers Charles J. and
Robert c. Chapman he started the Chap
man Banking Company, the business OF
which firm developed so successfully,
that it was deemed best TO place it on
more permanent basis, therefore Hon.
Seth l.. Larrabee, E. NJ. Stedman and
Others were taken into the company and
the Chapman National Bank organized
with Mr.. Chapman as president.
Mr.. Chapman was a public spirited
man and always took deep interest in
the affairs of his city and will be long
missed by large circle of friedds.
