Obituary: Charles H. Cheyney died at his home at Cheyney this morning at the advanced age of 91 years. He was taken with a chill in his office in Philadelphia, one week ago, and came home and took his bed, gradually growing worse until his death occurred. Deceased was one of the most remarkable and oldest men of Delaware county, and had resided at Cheyney ever since or soon after, the West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad was built. He made daily trips to Philadelphia and always walked from Broad Stret Station to his office at Seventh and Chestnut, where he was engaged in the real estate business. He had scarcely ever known sickness, and was a very active man, retaining all his faculties until within a few hours of his death. He was of a kind, genial disposition, with a host of friends, who will be sorry to learn of his decease.
He is survived by his only daughter, Mrs. Katharine Cheyney Bartol, who has made her home with him for some years. Two sons died some years ago, one of them, William, dying suddenly at an elevated railroad station in New York; the other, Edward, dying at home.
