OBITUARY
Archibald Gilchrist, one of the most highly respected residents of
Fairfield died Saturday morning at four o'clock at his home on East Adams
street after being suddenly stricken with heart failure. Mr. Gilchrist had
been in very poor health for the past year.
Mr. Gilchrist was born in Westmoreland county, Penn., Jan. 1st, 1837,
and was the son of Joseph and Eliza Gilchrist. In 1869, the family moved to
Greenwood, Jackson county, Mo., and five years later moved to Fairfield
where Mr. Gilchrist has since resided.
In 1861 at West Newton, Penn., he was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Clendenin who is left to mourn his loss. He is also survived by an adopted
daughter, Mrs. T.F. McNew of this city, and one sister and two brothers,
Mrs. Sarah Bailey of this city, David Gilchrist of near Libertyville and
John Gilchrist of Cochran Mills, Penn.
Mr. Gilchrist has long been a member of the United Presbyterian church
and is one of the Elders of the church. He followed the occupation of
carpenter and cabinet maker and for many years was one of the principal
contractors of the city. He was a man who was liked by every one and his
death will be learned with regret by many friends.
