TRACY, Charles Chapin, missionary, born in East Smithfield, Pennsylvania, 31 October, 1838. He was graduated at Williams in 1864 and at Union theological seminary in 1867, was ordained to the ministry of the Presbyterian church, and the same year sailed for Turkey in Asia as a missionary. He labored at Marsova for several years, and was subsequently settled in Constantinople, where he established the first illustrated child's paper that was ever published in the empire. In 1872 he returned to Marsova, where he has since resided, occupying a chair in the theological seminary, and engaging in missionary work. He has published "Letters to Oriental Families" (New York, 1874), and translated into Turkish a "Commentary on the Hebrews and Daniel " and Bishop Butler's "Analogy."
