The Warren Tribune, Friday, 5-27-1906
Was Buried on his Birthday.
Emanuel Chalfant, one of the oldest residents of Wells county died at his home in Bluffton
Monday evening. His death was due to paresis with which he was stricken last Friday. Had
he lived until Wednesday he would have been eighty years old and arrangements were being
made to celebrate that occasion when he was taken sick. Instead of celebrating the old
man's birthday that day his friends were called upon to attend his funeral. Mr.
Chalfant was twice elected sheriff of Wells county, serving one term at the close of the
war and another about four years later. He had also served many terms as justice of the
peace of the township in which he lived and held that office at the time of this death.
