From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catlin circa 1940

Mark Catlin Jr. (October 18, 1910 – January 23, 1987)[1] was a Wisconsin Republican politician and legislator.[2]

Born in Appleton, Wisconsin, Catlin graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and became a lawyer.[3] His father was the college football coach Mark Catlin Sr., who was also a lawyer and legislator.[4]

Catlin served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1937–1943, 1949–1951, and 1953–1957; Catlin also served as Speaker of the Assembly in the 1955 session and was a Republican.[5][6]

In 1957, the State Bar of Wisconsin found Catlin guilty of unethical conduct; the ruling was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court and he was fined $1500 and his law license was suspended for six months.[7]
