JOHN MILTON CLAPP

John Milton Clapp, the eleventh in a family of thirteen
children of Judge Orris and Phebe (Blish) Clapp, of
Mentor, Lake County, Ohio, was born on January 16,
1810, and entered Yale in 1828. He taught in the academy in Waterbury, Connecticut,
for about a year, and then fulfilled a similar engagement
in Lowell, Massachusetts. Through his intimate friend-
ship with Albert More Smith Rhett, a former classmate,
he then secured a position as Principal of Beaufort Col-
lege, in Beaufort, South Carolina. From Beaufort he went, about 1836, to an editorial posi-
tion on the Charleston Mercury, which he held with high
credit for nearly all the rest of his life. During one
brief interruption of his work, he was the editor of the
Southern Quarterly Review in Charleston. Failing health laid him aside for some time before his
death, in Charleston, after a brief final illness, on December
16, 1857, at the age of 48. He was never married.
