LESLIE J. CHATFIELD DIES SUDDENLY HERE
Grocery Merchant Succumbs to Attack of Heart Trouble After Working In Store All Day
Funeral Services to be Monday Morning at 9 o.Clock
Leslie J. Chatfield, from a family of widely known DeKalb county citizens, died about 10 o'clock Thursday night in his home, 333 West Sycamore street, following a sudden attack of heart trouble.
Funeral services will be held from St. Mary's church at 9 o'clock Monday morning, with the Rev. Fr. Masterson officiating. Burial will be in Mt. Carmel. Mr. Chatfield's death was as sudden as it was unexpected. He had worked all day Thursday, but shortly after supper complained of a sore arm. He retired shortly after 9:30, when he suffered a worse pain in his arm. He got up in an attempt to alleviate his suffering, and within a few moments keeled over dead. Physicians attributed his death to angina pectoris, or heart trouble.
He was born in Sycamore February 17, 1883, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Chatfield, and always lived here, where he was in the grocery business at different intervals, the last time succeeding W. F. Miller on May 1. 1925. Previously he was in business with Will Campbell, and at one time was city treasure.
He was married to Jane Dee of Rochelle, October 2, 1906, and she with their two children, Dee and Kathern, the aged Mr. Chatfield and a sister, Mrs. Perry Fisk of DeKalb, survive.
