Peyton Moncure Chichester, M. D. (edited)
In medical circles of Arlington County few names are better or more favorably known than that of Dr. Peyton Moncure Chichester, who is serving the county capably in the office of health officer, with headquarters at Clarendon. He is a man of broad and comprehensive learning and has had varied and valuable experience in his calling, which has given him an excellent equipment for the position he now holds.
Peyton M. Chichester attended the country schools of Stafford County and Fern Hall Academy at Fairfax Court House, and was about fifteen years of age when he entered school at Chevy Chase, Washington, D. C. Doctor Chichester then became a student at William and Mary College, and in his last year there served as assistant director of gymnasium work, having at all times been greatly fond of athletics and proficient therein.
In 1906 he received the degree of Licentiate of Instruction at William and Mary College, following which he taught school for two years at Warsaw, Virginia, but this was just a preliminary to his regular life work, upon which he had decided a number of years before. He became a student of the medical department of the University of Virginia, from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine as a member of the class of 1913, and while at that institution again found his gymnasium experience of value, assisting to pay his tuition fees by his work as director of the University Gymnasium.
Following his graduation Doctor Chichester had practical professional experience as an interne in the University of Virginia Hospital, Saint Vincent’s Hospital at Norfolk and the New York Nursery and Childs Hospital at New York City, and embarked upon the practice of his profession in 1915 at Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland. After three years he removed to Richmond, Virginia, where he became identified with the Health Department of that city, and remained therewith five years, following which he went to Loudoun County, this state, and served as health officer for one year. In February, 1924, Doctor Chichester came to Arlington County, and since then has served as health officer, with offices in the courthouse at Clarendon. He is a man of developed talents, broad experience in his specialty and great industry, and the health and sanitation of the county are in good and capable hands. During his administration of the affairs of the office he has introduced a number of innovations which have contributed materially to the safety of the people, as a result of which he has won and held general public confidence and esteem. Doctor Chichester is a member of the Virginia State Medical Society, the American Public Health Association, and the Virginia State Health Association, of which last named he served as vice president in 1927. Politically he is a supporter of Democratic candidates and principles, while his religious connection is with the Episcopal Church.
In August, 1921, Doctor Chichester was united in marriage with Miss Marie E. Cunningham, of Beaufort. South Carolina, daughter of Samuel C. and Mariette Elizabeth (Yates) Cunningham, natives of that state, both of whom are now deceased. Mr. Cunningham was a planter for many years in South Carolina, and one of the prominent and highly respected citizens of his community. To Doctor and Mrs. Chichester there has come one son, Peyton Moncure, Jr.. born July 8. 1924. The attractive family home is located at 350 Clarendon Avenue, and is the scene of numerous pleasant social gatherings.
