Mr. Arthur Herbert Chester died, Tuesday, at Cohasset, at the age of 30-years, after an illness of several weeks.
He was the son of Mr. Charles E. Chester; and had been identified prominently with Trinity Church. He was connected with Mr. J. Montgomery Sears’ office. He took a warm interest in Trinity; and wrote a history of the parish. He was President of Trinity Club, and prominent in all of the life and activities of the church. Mr. Chester was an early member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew; and became the founder and director of a chapter of the brotherhood in Chelsea, and later the second President of the Boston local council of that organization.
He resided for some years in Concord, recently building a home in Newton Centre. Mr. Chester was an indefatigable worker; and yielded easily to malarial fever.
He married Miss Beth Rich of Chelsea, and a boy of six and a daughter of seven survive him.
He was a member of the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and of the Society of Mayflower Descendants.
