NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS

OBITUARIES, DEATH NOTICES, ETC

Kay & Ed Chittenden: Letters from the Mailbag: Kay and Ed Chittenden dropped me a brief note and family picture. They were very pleased with the introduction made for them in the 1995 newsletter. “Had no idea you were going to do that and it was a delightful surprise. Thanks so much”. It was our pleasure. We hope that you can make 1997 reunion or if visiting nearby give me a call. Capt. Tom Chittenden wrote that within the first twenty-four hours in New Orleans he was asked if he knew Alfred Chittenden. He, of course, looked Alfred up in the ‘book’ and found him to be the only Chittenden in the New Orleans directory. Capt. Tom phoned Alfred and learned that he is retired. He was interested in receiving the newsletter and other information, so I am adding Alfred Chittenden of 6331 Paris Avenue, New Orleans 70122 to our list. Capt Tom Chittenden later wrote from Seward, Alaska, and described the natural beauty of Resurrection Bay, “looking at the alpine mountains all around”. While waiting for the ferry to Kodiac Island, he reported seeing many bald eagles fishing in the bay. Cecil Chittenden from Soldatna, Alaska, wrote to join our Newsletter list and he told us teat he has been in Alaska for many years, working in an artic oil field. A faithful Chittenden is Susan in Cleveland, Tennessee. She wrote that she found the 1995 newsletter most interesting. We are pleased to hear that. She said that she lead written to Ed Chittenden in Maryland, but she could not make direct connection. Ed was pleased to hear from Susan. Ed was born in Michigan about 40 or 50 miles from where my grandfather, Myers Chittenden was born. Later on Susan sent this letter. “When cleaning out my desk drawers, I ran across this picture of my grandparents. Myers was a ggggggson of William Chittenden of Guilford, Connecticut. He was born in Branch County, Michigan and his wife, Bessie Dow, was from Hillsdale County, Michigan. The baby in the picture is their granddaughter Helen Chittenden born March 1926. (It is my guess that the enclosed picture is about 70 years old.sc) As soon as the newsletter is finished the picture must be returned to Susan because she writes, “We have very few pictures of my grandfather as he usually took the pictures”. Myers and Bessie Dow Chittenden moved to Tennessee in 1898. He was a postal worker. “And my dad and his brother followed in Myers footsteps.” Susan said that the Cleveland post office did not have a parcel post service until January 1913 and Bessie Chittenden mailed the first package by parcel post. It was a one-pound package to Hillside, Michigan and it cost eight cents (Times and prices have certainly changed). Thanks Susan for sharing this information with us.

“Hitch-Hikers Tale Leads to Crash Scene - A dazed and battered 25 year old hitch hiker who asked to be taken to a hospital Monday unfolded the story of Monterey County’s 24^th traffic fatality since 1^st January. James Daffan of Roanoke, Va., stumbled to a residence about 50 miles south of Monterey along Highway 1 and asked to be taken to a hospital at 10 a.m. He was taken to Monterey County hospital at Salinas. Meanwhile, residents in the area began to look around and 150 feet below a steep cliff along the highway they spotted the wreckage of a car. The body of Lawrence K Chittenden, 20, of Hollydale was found inside. Chief Deputy Coroner Chris Hill said he thought the accident happened sometime Saturday night. Hill said Daffan was apparently thrown from the car before it landed at the bottom and could have been unconscious for several hours. Daffan could remember nothing of the accident, not even the make of car in which he was riding. Police were puzzled at the lack of skid marks on the road, although Chittenden’s car plunged from a straight stretch of highway. Chittenden, a naval reservist, had left home alone for San Francisco amd apparently given Daffan a ride”, (Lawrence K. Chittenden. SS# 545-50-8333, died 1 Jun 1957, Monterey County. Reg# 530.

Funeral of Leslie Saunders - The high esteem in which Leslie ‘Shag’ Saunders was held by his chool mates and the people of Coby in general was very amply shown by the great crowd of people who attended his funeral held last Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church. The whole town joined in the sorrow of the relatives of this exemplary young man, who, in his quiet way, held a place of high regard among them. The young men of the DeMolay had charge of the general arrangements for the funeral of their fellow member and conducted the service at the cemetery. Rev. L. R. Templin conducted the services at the church and spoke feelingly of what the young man had meant to the town, to his family and to his schoolmates by his friendliness, his willingness to help and his appreciation of good fellowship. With personal sadness we append the obituary that was read at the services. Members of the high school football team were pall bearers and present and former athlete coaches, Theodore A. Fleck and David C. Chittenden, were honorary pall bearers. Mr Chittenden driving 64 miles from Herndon to attend the funeral of his former pupil and constant friend.

A 19-year-old Roxbury man ran for his life yesterday, but was gunned down on Ruggles Street, reportedly by two youths on bicycles, as high school soccer players ducked for cover on a nearby field. Michael Chittenden, who lived in Madison Park Village off Melnea Cass Boulevard, was fatally shot just before 3 p.m. as he ran towards a field where players were gathering for a soccer match. Coashes for the teams - from Brighton and John D. O’Bryant high schools - herded players away as shots were fired. Chittenden was pronounced dead at 3.15 p.m. at Boston Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said. A city youth worker counseling children at the scene said he was told that Chittenden was with a 9-year-old neighbour in front of the housing development when two young people rode up on bicycles. Words were exchanged and the youths may have issue a warning, he said, because Chittenden and the 9-year-old suddenly dashed off in opposite directions. Chittenden, who was pursued, was shot in the street and collapsed on the sidewalk near the field. Chittenden’s mother, Deborah Chittenden, said last night that other teenagers had been threatening to kill her son since February. She said they told him to stay off Lenox Street and even called him at home, saying “We’re going to shoot you”. Chittenden said Boston police had tapped her phone at her request and taped the calls. Kevin Jones, a police spokesman, could not verify if detectives had tapped Chittenden’s phone or that they had investigated the threats. Chittenden said she believes gang members that hang out on Lenox Street killed her only child. She said the gang terrorized the neighborhood.. Ironically, the shooting preceded by just a few hours the kickoff of this year’s Peace League - a city sponsored program gathering gang members to play basketball. The game began at 6 p.m. last night in the Madison Park Community Centre, just across the filed from where Chittenden fell. It was the second fatal shooting in the neighbourhood recently, alarmed neighbours said. Chittenden’s killing brought the number of homicides committed in Boston this year to 30, a toll approaching the total of 34 at this time last year.. No arrests had been made yesterday.

Chemist To Inspect Beef. Prof Chittenden of Yale Selected, Although He favours Borax. New Haven, Conn., Prof. Russell H. Chittenden of Yale University has received notice of his appointment by the War Department as one of two chemists who have been asked to analyze specimens of the beef furnished the American troops in the Cuban campaign. Prof. Chittenden has notified the proper officials of his acceptance of the appointment and expects soon to receive the specimens. It is understood that a Georgetown University chemist is the other expert appointed. Prof. Russell H. Chittenden is Professor of Physiology and Chemistry in both Yale and Columbia Universities. A few weeks ago he appeared before the Senate Committee on Agriculture in Albany in opposition to a bill which prohibited the use of borax in dairy products manufactured and sold in this State. In a scientific capacity he represented the interests of the Pacific Coast Borax Company. On that occasion Prof. Chittenden declared that experiments made personally with borax had convinced him that it could be safely used a preservative for food products. He had injected borax into a live dog and the animal being subsequently killed he found that the borax had left no deleterious effect: It had caused no inflammation and was in no wise injurious. The physical effect of borax upon a dog, Prof. Chittenden said, was similar to its effect on the human system. Scientific men say that there is a wide difference of opinion regarding the use of borax as a preservative for food products. This selection of Prof. Chittenden – who is committed to use of borax for this purpose – to represent the Government in an inquiry relative to the use of chemicals in the preservation of canned beef is therefore regarded with peculiar and watchful interest by many persons who would like to see an absolutely impartial investigations conducted.

Bugher – Chittenden. Washington. Oct 25^th The marriage of Frederick H. Bugher to Mrs Henrietta B. Chittenden of Leesburg, Va., took place at 9 a.m. today at the residence of Mrs Washington McLean, the grandmother of the bridegroom. The bride, who only reached Washington Wednesday evening, was accompanied by her father, John G. Bassell of Columbus, Ohio, and during her short stay was the guest pf Mrs. McLean, with whom she spent the greater part of last summer at Narragansett Pier. In addition to Mr. Bassell and Mrs McLean, the only witnesses to the marriage were the stepfather and mother of the bridegroom, Rear Admiral and Mrs. Ludlow; The Admiral of the Navy and Mrs. Dewey, the latter Mr. Bugher’s aunt; Mr. And Mrs. John R. Mclean and their young son. The Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church officiated. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.Bugher left for a wedding trip of indefinite length, traveling in Mr. McLean’s private car, the Ohio. The bride wore a handsome gown of brown cloth. The couple will make their home, for the Autumn at least, at Mr. Bugher’s recently purchased residence, near Oakdale, L. I. Mr Bugher, who is only twenty-four years of age, served with distinction in the Spanish-American War, and is one of the most popular as well as one of the richest of the younger men of Washington society. He is a member of the Metropolitan, Country and Chevy Chase Clubs of this city; the Calumet and Press Clubs of New York, and the Essex of Massachusetts. His bride is some years his senior, and was formerly the wife of Henry T. Chittenden of Columbus, Ohio, from whom she recently secured a divorce.

Dr. Chittenden on Vegetarianism. Finds Means of Scientifically Searching the “Sentimental” Claims of its Advocates. Many Kinds of Proteins. Reproduces Digestive Functions Chemically – Karl Manns Vegetarian Endurance Record. New Haven, Conn. It is reported here that Prof. Russell H. Chittenden, Director of the Yale Sheffield Scientific School, is conducting a series of dietetic experience which he hopes will determine the real merits of vegetarianism as contrasted with the use of animal foods. Prof. Chittenden has demonstrated the existence of many kinds of proteins which are the essential tissue-building material, and are distinct in the flesh of animals and in vegetables. Most feeding experiments, he says, have been made with mixtures of these proteins, which on analysis it is “strikingly manifest” that they are of divergent chemical constituency. Few isolated proteins have ever been tested dietetically, eith singly or in selected groups. One protein , the zeir, of cornmeal, which lacks many of the ordinary chemical properties has in animals been found inadequate to the demands of digestion and assimilation. In his article on “Some New Viewpoints in Nutritio” printed recently in the Popular Science Monthly, Dr. Chittenden said: Data along these lines are bound to bring us more definite information than we at present possess regarding the real merit of vegeterianism as contracted with the use of animal foods. At present, so-called vegetarianism rests mainly upon sentiment, reinforced by the belief that the quantitative needs of the body for protein food are more satisfactorily met by a liberal addition of vegetable matter with its larger calorific or heat-producing power and smaller nitrogent content. In view, however, of what has been stated concerning the divergent chemical structure of individual proteins, it is obvious that a new standard of comparison is at hand, the suggestion it may offer to be tested by appropriate feeding experiment on man and animals. Truly, no chapter of nutrition is more deserving of careful consideration, both from a scientific standpoint and from its bearing on the welfare of the human race, than that which deals with the relative capabilities of the various proteins of animal and vegetable origin. The experiments in organic chemistry will serve largely to influence his final conclusions Prof. Chittenden hints in this passage: Woehler was the first to make an organic substance by synthesis. Up to this time physiologists all believed that organic substances, whether simple or complex, could be formed only through the agency of a living organism. To-day, however, there is almost no limit to our power of producing organic substances by purely chemical synthesis. In the hands of the chemist many of the reactions of living matter may be duplicated and we are led to see that the living organism makes use of processes which are merely a counterpart of those we have learned to control in the laboratory. It is to be believed, therefore, that many of the new dietetic experiments at Yale will duplicate the chemical action of the human stomach and intestines in the apparatus and under the eye of the investigator. In connection with Prof. Chittenden’s experiments Dr. Thomas B. Osborne of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station has lately published in Science a comparative study of twenty-five different proteins of vegetable origin used in the nutrition of men and animals which he says “are characterized by wide differences not only in physical properties but in the proportion of decomposition products”.

Up-State Broker Ends His Life Here. Walter L. Chittenden, 51, of Binghamton, Found Dead Of Shot In Hotel Room. Was Under Treatment. Melancholy Over Wife’s Death Year Age – Wore Watch Charm With “Yale, Class of 1900” on it. Walter L. Chittenden, 51 years old, of 135 Front Street, Binghamton, N.Y., member of the brokerage firm of Chittenden, Phelps & Co. of that city, was found dead yesterday moring in a room in the Imperial Hotel, Broadway and Thirty-second Street. The Police reported the case as suicide. The broker had shot himself through the right eye with a .22.calibre rifle. About 3 o’clock Saterday afternoon a man asked the room clerk at the Imperial for a room, registering as “J. B. West of Buffalo.” At 10 o’clock that night he telephoned to the hotel operator to have a call for 7 o’clock the next morning. There was no response to the operator’s ringing at 7. a.m. yesterday, which was repeated at intervals for several hours. Bellboys were sent to the room but their knocks were likewise unheeded. When this was reported to B. H. Brobst, hotel manager, about 10 o’clock, he went to the roof of the hotel annex, from which he could look into the guest’s room on one of the upper floors. He saw the body slumped in a chair and the rifle lying near by. Policemen summoned by Mr. Brobst climbed from the annex roof into the room, which had been bolted and locked from the inside. Dr. Baker of New York Hospital and Dr. Henry Weinberg, assistant medical examiner, said the man had apparently been dead for several hours. The bag which the man had taken into the room was empty. It was new, as was the rifle, which still bore a price. Both had been purchased from a New York sporting goods establishment. There was nothing in the room or among the man’s effects to indicate his identity, except a slip of paper on which was written the name of the Park West Hospital. Communication with the Park West Hospital at 170 West Seventy-sixth Street. Mr. Brobst was told that the dead man was Mr. Chittenden, who had been missing from the hospital since Saturday afternoon. It was explained that he had been suffering from melancholia since his wife died about a year ago, and that he had been under treatment at the hospital since last December. Mr Chittenden had been out driving early Saturday with his nurse, it was said at the hospital, and shortly after noon drove off by himself saying he was going to a garage to have minor repairs made. Efforts were made to find him when he did not return after some time, but in vain. The hospital notified his son William, who is a student at Yale, that his father was missing. He left at once for New York and was at the hospital when Mr. Brobst telephoned. The hotel manager said the report of the gun had not been heard by any of the guests. The man who had the room adjoining said he had come in late but had heard nothing. The son went to the hotel yesterday to make arrangements to have the body sent to Binghamton last night for burial. Mr. Chittenden wore a watch charm bearing the inscription “Yale, Class of 1900.” Binghamton, N.Y. Feb 10^th – Walter L. Chittenden was a member of one of Binghamton’s oldest families, a brother of Dr. Arthur S. Chittenden, a surgeon well known in New York and head of the security investment firm of Chittenden, Phelps & Co., of this city. The death of his wife over a year ago caused Mr. Chittenden to be greatly depressed and he has been undergoing treatment. The death of Theron Russell, a close friend, who was killed in an automobile accident two months ago, further affected his condition, but friends here believed that he was recovering.

Ohio: The Sunbury News, Online Edition,, By Richard M. Helwig

To say that the arrival of the first automobile in Columbus created a major commotion would be putting it mildly. It was in the spring of 1899 that Mr Campbell Chittenden journeyed to Cleveland to purchase a Winton automobile. Chittenden probably bought the automobile to be a “honeymoon vehicle” for him and Miss Alice Finch who were scheduled to be married in July. As Chittenden left Cleveland to Columbus Pike (later to become the Old 3 C) his journey at first was uneventful. Soon he observed more and more farmers and small town residents gathering along the road and streets over which he passed just to look at the “devil wagon”. Chittenden didn’t know it then, but word of his passing was being telegraphed and snatched from harm’s way as the “horseless carriage” roared into town after small town. Some locals cheered, others frowned and a few got downright nasty. Chittenden, on more than one occasion, wondered if he would ever make it back to Columbus. When Chittenden reached his destination, however, the attitude of people in Columbus and those of their country cousins were similar: They wanted to see the car, but then usually had a negative comment about the auto. Most believed that the automobile was a flash in the pan, a fad that couldn’t possibly last. But not only did it last, it prospered. Chittenden and Miss Finch were married on 12^th July 1899, and left that day on their honeymoon in their trusty Winton automobile. They journeyed northward to Cleveland through serious storms and downpours. They arrived in Cleveland on the 15^th. They then boarded a train for New York where they completed their honeymoon. It would be eight months before the next automobile arrived in Columbus. It is very possible that Chittenden passed through Sunbury on his way to Columbus, as two major routes between Cleveland and Columbus went through Sunbury. The “3 C” Highway, the pre-Freeway main route between Cleveland and Columbus was “christened” on 24^th June 1924, at Westerville. Perhaps Campbell Chittenden’s Winton automobile was the first “horseless carriage” or “devil wagon” seen by Sunbury residents either on his initial trip to Columbus or on his return trip to Cleveland with his new bride. It is now exactly one century later. Chittenden’s “oddity” has become common place. Stand or sit near the routes 36 and 37 exits and look southward on 1-71 and you will see a nearly endless ribbon of traffic wending its way northward. left this several weeks ago apparently much improved. One of Mr Chittenden’s acts which made him known to the New-York public was his appearance last November before Mayor Grace, when he petitioned for the removal of the Tax Commissioners,declaring that they were $600,000 behind in their collections. When the Mayor refused his request, he went before Judge Van Brunt, who coincided with the Mayor, in his view of the case. Although a Republican, Mr Chittenden was a supporter of Cleveland in the Presidential contest. He utterly refused to believe there was any good in Blaine, and offered to give Yale College $10,000 if ex-President Woolsey would say he thought Blaine was an honest man.

Mr. Chittenden Kills Himself.  Lancaster, Penn., July 9^th Stern Chittenden, a New York lawyer, who was visiting his brother, the Rev. R. L. Chittenden, Episcopal minister, in charge at Paradise, this county, committed suicide last evening. He went out into the barnyard and cut his throat and the arteries in both wrists with a razor, and when found by his brother was dying. Mr Chittenden was rather well known in this city on account of his eccentricities. For the past six years he had an office at 176 Broadway, but always seemed desirous to keep out of the way of the other tenants of the building. He was a graduate of Yale, and at one time had a large practice. He bought considerable real estate in Brooklyn, and obtained other property, all of which was put in the hands of Trustees when he showed symptoms of insanity. Mr Chittenden was placed in asylums several times. About last Christman he was sent to the insane ward at Bellevue and was soon afterwards taken to the asylum at Flushing. He l Lawyer Chittenden’s Estate: A commission has been issued by Judge Lawrence holding Supreme Court, Chambers, to ex-Judge Noah Davis, directing him to inquire, with the aid of a jury, into the mental condition of Lawyer Stern Chittenden, who is now in Sanford Hall, a private asylum for the insane, at Flushing. It was issued on the petition of Henry T. Chittenden, a brother of Lawyer Chittenden, setting forth that the latter is incompetent to care for himself or his property. His property is said to consist of law books, bonds, furniture, &c, of the value of $40,000, and real estate worth $150,000 but incumbered by mortgages to the amount of $50,000. Mr Chittenden has never been married, and his next of kin are the Rev. R. L. Chittenden, of Paradise, Penn: Henry T. Chittenden, of Columbus, Ohio: Charlotte Woodward, wife of George A. Woodward, of Philadelphia, a retired officer of the United States Army, and Sally Lovell, wife of Robert A. Lovell, United States Army, living at Fort Klamath, Oregon.
