CHAPMAN, LORENZO (1872-1937)

CHAPMAN, LORENZO, doctor; b. Amherst, N.S., 1 May 1872, s/o Charles S. Chapman and Susanna Trueman; m. 1st, 1898, Ella K. Moore, of Hopewell Hill, Albert Co., N.B., and 2nd, 1901, Aleitha May King, d/o John K. King and Mary S. Fletcher; d. Grand Falls, N.B., 5 Jan 1937.

After being trained in medicine at Harvard University (MD 1893), Lorenzo Chapman settled into a practice at Albert, N.B. In 1903 he gave that up and moved to Boiestown, as successor to Dr William H. Irvine. He practiced there for eight years, during part of which time his in-laws, the Rev. John K. King and his wife, were stationed at Boiestown. In 1911 he relocated in Grand Falls, where he was also licensed as a pharmacist. In 1922 he was a member of the Victoria County Sub-district board of health. He was practicing at Plaster Rock in the early 1930s.

Chapman's "sudden death" at Grand Falls in January 1937, about which the public was not fully informed by the press, "came as a great shock to his family, the majority of whom had been making their home in Dalhousie for a number of years." The news reached the family on the date he was reported to have died, and the funeral was conducted at Grand Falls the next day. His wife, Aleitha M. King, two daughters, and three sons were named as his survivors.
