Garfield Chilcott
Garfield CHILCOTT, 64, retired engineer and machinist, and veteran of two wars, died at 9:10 this morning at the veteran's hospital, Marion, Ind., following a week of serious illness. Death was due to pneumonia.
Chilcott, a member of both the Spanish-American War Veterans' Association and The American Legion, came here about seven years ago from Cass County.

During his active years he was a locomotive engineer and machinist.
In a ceremony performed April 6, 1933 at South Bend, he was united in marriage with Ruth FELTY who now resides at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ira BAKER in the Woodrow neighborhood, south of the city.
By a former marriage, he was the father of nine sons, eight of whom survive. They are: Harold [CHILCOTT] and Garfield [CHILCOTT], Monticello; Gerald [CHILCOTT] of California; James [CHILCOTT], John [CHILCOTT] and Robert [CHILCOTT] in the services; Howard [CHILCOTT] of Gary and Donald [CHILCOTT] of Logansport. A son, Gilbert [CHILCOTT] preceded him in death.
He served in the Spanish-American war, Philippine Insurrection, and was a second lieutenant in World War I.
Funeral services are incomplete. The body will be brought tonight to the Zimmerman Bros. funeral home here.
