The following clipping from a recent issue of
Mishawaka (Ind) paper gives us news of the death of
Mr. Chidsey, a former well-known resident of Gladwin.
"Edgar Lucius Chidsey, a veteran of the Civil war,
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harvey
Williams, northeast of the city, Saturday morning at
9:30 o'clock, after several years illness. Death was
due to complications.
"Mr. Chidsey was born in Farmington, Conn., Dec.
19, 1842, and was nearly 73 years old. He was married
to Miss Jane R. McGuffe at Hartford, Conn., July 5,
1867. Mr. Chidsey was a member of the Seventeenth
Connecticut infantry and served four years in the
Civil war. He came to Mishawaka about nine years ago
from Gladwin, Mich.
"He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Edna Garver
and Mrs. Harvey Williams, at whose home he died; three
brothers, Frank Hial and William Chidsey, all of
Farmington, Conn. "The funeral will be held from the
Williams residence, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
