He was a painter and worked at his
trade up to the time of his death.
Funeral services will be held at the
home tonight at eight o'clock and a
special invitation is extended to the

Masonic lodge in Merchantville. Mr..
Chew was born in Gloucester county,
near Glassboro, at a place formerly
known as S~andtown, now Berkeley,
on February 26, 1s45. In 1861 at the
age of seventeen he enlisted in the
Twelfth New Jersey regiment at Wood
bury and served throughout the Civil
war. He was wounded at Chancel-
louisville in 1868 and also at Petersburg,
and the bullet received at the former
place was carried in his body until the
day of his death. He was in every
battle of this regiment except while he
was in the hospital. After the close of
the war he enlisted in the Second U. S.
cavalry and went to the far west to
fight Indians under Phil. Kearney's
company. In a fight with the In
dams in Nebraska every member of
this company was killed and Mr.. Chew
survived by reason of being away with
a six mule team for supplies. On his
return he saw something was wrong
and turned back. The red skins pur-
sued him and the arrows fell around
him pretty lively, but he whipped up
his mules and escaped. About 1869 he
: trtprneG-aurna shortly utter married
Miss Sarah Snyder, of Philadelphia.
Since his frontier days he lived most of
the time in Camden and Philadelphia,
coming to Wildwood about five or six
years ago. He leaves a widow and one
brother, John w. Chew, of 2105 East
Cheltan. avenue, Philadelphia. He
was a genial man and of a happy dis
position and filled the office of borough
recorder with credit.
