soldier to brevet major general, which rank
was conferred upon him just previous to
the close of the war.
After the war General ChetIain spent four
years in Europe in consular and diplomatic
service and when he returned to this
country he made his home in Chicago,
where he has resided for over thirty years,
having been engaged in the banking bust

Gen. Chetlain was a warm personal
friend or Gen. Grant and in an interview
with Star reporter today he spoke of the
late general and President as a strategist.

our civil war were recognized as successful

Gen. Chetlain Tells Of Interview With

Among the notable members of the Army
of the Tennessee now in the city is General
A. L. Chetlain of Chicago who is said to be
the Oldest living resident of the northwest
territory. He was born in st. Louis In
1924 and his father was one Of the early
pioneers in the northwest territory, going
there in 1926 when the lead mines were
