William Chick Scarritt was born March 31, 1861, in
Kansas City, Missouri, his being a pioneer family. He went to
the public schools of the town, for it was not then a city, and then
entered Central College at Fayette, Mo., from which he was graduated
in 1881. He decided upon law as a profession, and accordingly
enrolled as a student in Boston University, and took his degree there
in 1883. He also studied law for a while in the office of his
brother, Judge Edward L.
Scarritt, with whom he was afterwards
associated in the practice of his profession. He is now a member
of the law firm of Scarritt, Griffith, &
Jones.

public matters, and in 1897 was appointed as member of the Board of
Police Commissioners by Governor Stephens, but resigned before the
expiration of his term. He is a member of the Commercial Club, the
local Bar Association, and also belongs to the Evanston Golf Club.
He was married to Miss Francis Davis, of
