Fred K. Tracy
It will be news of interest to the legal profession, as well as our citizens at large, that Mansfield has lost one of her brightest practitioners at the bar in the removal of Fred K. Tracy from the city. About the first of June Mr. Tracy received a proposition from his father-in-law, Mr. Richmond, to enter into the coal business at Scranton, Pa. Mr. Richmond is the owner of a number of valuable coal mines and recently opened up the richest mine in that region. This largely increased the business and the gentleman desired that Mr. Tracy assist him in its management. Accordingly, Mr. Tracy left for Scranton and was shortly afterward followed by his family. Mr. Tracy still retained his interest in the law firm of Jenner, Tracy & Weldon, but he has not really been a member of the firm for the past two months. In his removal from the city Mansfield loses a splendid citizen, an affable gentleman and a brilliant attorney, who has practiced the law here for the past fourteen years.
