Obituary Notices WILLIAM CLAFLIN The son of James F. and Caroline (Poole) Claflin was born March 26, 1862, at Marlboro, Ma s. He was fitted for college at the Chicago High School. After graduation from Amherst, he at once took up the study of law, and in January, 1884, entered the law office of S. W. Packard of Chicago. In November, 1884, he left this office and entered that of Bryan & Hatch, 95 Washington Street, Chicago. He taught in the Chicago evening schools during the winter of 1884 and 1885. From June to August, 1885, he spent in Las Vegas, New Mexico, for the benefit of his health. He was sales agent for mining machinery from August to October, 1885, and in this work trav- elled through Colorado and New Mexico. He then took charge of a concentrating plant at Cerrillos, New Mex- ico and later of the smelter yard of the Graphic Min- ing and Smelting Company at Socorro, New Mexico. June 1, 1886, he become a partner with his uncle, Isaac Claflin, in the real estate business at 154 Lake Street, Chicago. In 1898, the firm's name had be- come William Claflin & Co. He studied for a year in the Kent College of Law. He continued in the real estate business until the time of his death. He re- sided in Lombard, 111., and was for several terms an alderman of that city. Claflin was married October 14, 1886, to Grace, 7 o RECORD OF TWENTY YEARS daughter of Stephen R. and Annie F. Thurston, of Lombard, 111. Claflin died January 10, 1902, after an illness of five days from pneumonia. His widow survives him with two sons: Stephen Thurston Claflin, born July 23, 1893, and Edward Cahoon Claflin, born Novem- ber 2, 1897. Claflin had come to hold a prominent place in business and in the public life of the city where he resided. He was active in the organizations of the Amherst Alumni in Chicago, and these societies gave expression to their estimate of his character and their loss in his death in the following tributes : From Chicago Graduate Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi: William Claflin possessed in a rare degree the qualities of heart and mind which make a true and valued friend, having the happy faculty of making friends. This was especially the case in the commu- nity where he lived, being the leader in all plans for advancement and progress, whether physical, mental or moral, in village, school and church. Being pre-eminently a manly man, strong, ener- getic, forceful; able to cope with and overcome obsta- cles, he attracted by the magnetism of his winning personality, young and old alike. To all interests with which he was associated, he gave freely of his strength of mind and heart, broad- ened by wide business experience and sound judg- ment. His unexpected death in the prime of his man- hood leaves a gap in the ranks which can not be filled, and a memory in the loving hearts of all who knew him, this will ever be his most enduring monument. CLASS OF EIGHTY-THREE 7 I From the Memorial of the Amherst Club of Chi- cago: William Claflin was one of the original members of the Amherst Club at Chicago, and always inter- ested in everything that advanced the interest of the College or Club. This spirit was his by right of inheritance from his father, whose love for his old College was a potent factor in the son's education. His sudden death at his home in Lombard, 111., on Friday, January 10, 1902, after so brief an illness, came as a painful shock to the members of the Club, and his large circle of friends throughout the College. He was our friend — to know him however slightly was to feel the genial nature which attracted, and the unfailing response was a desire for better acquaintance which ripened into friendship and esteem. He was possessed of an abounding optimism, not the kind that blinds the eyes to difficulties, but the optimism which gives strength to conquer, and whose end is well-earned success. His position and influence in the community in .which he lived is amply testified by the many offices of responsibility and trust, which his fellow townsmen conferred upon him. His life stood for strength, activity, manhood; a typical citizen of the wonderful city in which his business life was passed, best illustrated by its terse motto, "I will." Yet he found time to learn the beauty of the higher Altruistic Life, and was ever ready to extend a helping hand freely and generously to those about him. (Signed) Frederick S. Fales, '96, S. Tenny French, '72, Paul Blatchford, '82, Committee. 72 RECORD OF TWENTY YEARS FRANK HOWARD OLIVER The son of Robert E. and Emily F. Oliver was born December 23, i860, at Charlestown, Mass.
