Arthur l.. Cheney, who died very
suddenly at his summer home in
Greensboro last Wednesday afternoon
from angina pectoris, was born in
Craftsbury 55 years ago. He was one
of three children born to Mr.. and
Mrs. George Cheney. He moved to
this town with his parents when very
young and his education was received
in the public schools and at Peoples
Academy. He was united in mar
riage 80 years ago last August to
Emma Massey. To this union were
born two children, Guy Cheney, who
resides in Matawan, N. j., and Allan
Cheney, who died several years ago.
Mr.. Cheney conducted a drug store
in this village for 32 years; going
into business in 1890 with the late
DR.. E. J. Hall and purchasing the
same of Mrs. Hall in 1907. This
business he sold out October 1, 1921,
to f. J. Wheeler, being obliged to
sell out on account of i'll health.
As a business man Mr.. Cheney
unusual ability and by ap-
plying progressive principles and by
close personal attention 10 details
built up a business in the Cheney
pharmacy which was second TO none
in this section. Always genial and |
courteous, his personality was closely
identified with the growth of the |
store to which his whole life was
given.
As a citizen he stood for those
things that were for the best inter
ests of the community and was fear
less in his advocacy of what he con-
sidered to be right. Although he
some times made enemies, there was
never any question as to his honesty
and sincerity. He viii be remembered
as a clean, upright citizen.
