CLASS OF 1878

Edward Henry Chadwick died of paresis at his home in Shelbyville, Indiana, May 5. A recent letter from him, written in anticipation of the approaching reunion of the class, indicates a calm recognition that the end was approaching, and he is said to have made most of the arrangements for his funeral. Mr. Chadwick was born in Eaton, Ohio, March 20, 1852. His parents were Marcus B. and Mary Eliza (Rossman) Chadwick. He prepared for college at Miami University, earning his way to and through college mainly by teaching. He taught a year before entering, taught each winter during his college course, and taught also for some time after graduating while studying law. He was married in 1879 to Miss Mary Hughes, who survives him. The same year he was admitted to the bar of Shelby County, and in 1881 opened an office at Shelbyville, which he maintained until his death. He was very successful in business, having charge of many large interests, combining with his law practice a large abstract and loan business. In politics he was a consistent Republican until the last national election, when he became a Progressive. Mr. Chadwick was highly regarded in Shelbyville as a leader in all kinds of good work. He was high in the counsels of the Knights of Pythias and other fraternal orders, and is described by his associates as "a lawyer of unusual ability, an unusually successful business man, refined, educated, polished, and having a wide acquaintance in literature, history, philosophy, and the sciences."
