The Republican of Cedar Rapids, IA Tuesday May 14, 1907
Was Taken to St Luke's Hospital For Appendicitis Operation Thursday--Funeral Tuesday.
H.G. Chalfant of 1274 Fourth avenue, a well known resident of this city passed away in St. Luke's hospital Sunday morning at ten o'clock. Mr. Chalfant was ill some time ago and infection had developed, so before he was operated on, it is said, he had reached a critical stage in the disease.
Horace Gibson Chalfant was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, Nov. 17, 1858, and came to Iowa with his parents in 1881. He moved to Cedar Rapids in 1885 and had made this city his home most of the time since. In 1888 he was married to Miss Anna Langnecker, and one child, Forest Leland, who lived but eleven months, was born.
Mr. Chalfant was a contractor and was a generous business man. He was converted in St. Paul's Methodist church and united with that church in 1885 under the pastorate of Rev. J.B. Casebeer. He was one of the most interested and influential members in St. Paul's church. A man whose integrity and Christian character was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him.
The funeral will be held in St. Paul's Methodist church this afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. E.J. Lockwood, assisted by Rev. J.G. Van Ness, presiding elder. Interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
