Death of John D. Chichester
John D. Chichester of Birmingham, Ala., died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, Monday last. He had been a patient there suffering from a complication of diseases for about two weeks. Mr. Chichester was well known in this city. He is a brother of Mrs. William A. Linton, Mrs. Charles H. Halphead, Mrs. Edwin B. Craine, Miss Julia Chichester and of James M. Chichester of Richmond, Charles R. Chichester and G. PIckett Chichester, both of Fauquier county, Va.
The deceased was a native of Prince William county, Va., but about twenty years ago went to Birmingham, Ala., where his energy and enterprise soon placed him at the front among its enterprising business men. He was a leading spirit in many undertakings that have placed the iron city of the south where it is today, and his death will prove to be a distinct loss to that community. He was ill about nine weeks. With him in his last hour were his wife and two sons, his brother James of Richmond and Mr. William A. Linton, his brother-in-law, of this city.
The remains have been conveyed to his late home in Birmingham.
