Another Veteran Passes Away

All that was mortal of J. E. Chilcoat, aged about 70 years, a noble good 
man, and soldier of the Confederate army was laid to rest in the beautiful 
Grace Hill cemetery this afternoon. He had been in feeble condition for 
sometime and, while his death was not expected, it was a sad shock to his 
many Longview friends. While surrounded by loved ones at the home of his 
son, Robert, he peacefully closed his eyes to death yesterday at 1 p.m. 

The deceased was a native of Tennessee, served as Justice of the Peace of 
Longview precinct for two years and made a faithful and effecient officer. 
A wife and two children survive him, Robert Chilcoat of this city, and Mrs 
T. M. Lane, of Ft. Worth, and to them we extend our sincere sympathy in 
their bereavement.
