CHICHESTER DIES HERE TODAY Prominent Attorney Had Been in Failing Health Several Years Frank Moncure Chichester, 72, prominent lawyer and former commonwealth's attorney of Fredericksburg, died in Mary Washington Hospital this morning about 6:30 o'clock. He was admitted to the hospital last night at 7 o'clock. Mr. Chichester had been in declining health for several years. He had been confined to his home at 503 Lewis Street since Monday. Mr. Chichester served two consecutive terms as commonwealth's attorney, from 1918 to 1925. During his legal career here he was engaged in a number of notable cases. Among his chief interest outside his law practice was the National Battlefield Park. He was one of the early promoters of the plan to acquire portions of the War Between the States battlegrounds in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County as a park and was chairman of the Battlefield Park Commission for some years. This group went out of existence after the Federal government established the park. BORN IN STAFFORD Mr. Chichester was born at "Glencairne", Stafford County, Dec. 14, 1874, son of the late Judge D. M. Chichester, of Fairfax County, and Mrs. Agnes Robinson Moncure Chichester, of Stafford. Most of his early life was spent in Fairfax. He was educated in the public schools of Fairfax, graduated from William and Mary College and received his law degree from the University of Virginia. For a time after leaving the university, he was connected with the Michie law publishing firm in Charlottesville. He came to Fredericksburg in 1906 and began the practice of law in association with his brother, the late R. H. L. Chichester, of Stafford. This association continued until 1912, when R. H. L. Chichester was appointed judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit. Thereafter, Mr. Chichester practiced by himself. Mr. Chichester was married in 1916 to Miss Lina Carter Harrison, of Fredericksburg. ST. GEORGE'S VESTRYMAN He was a vestryman of St. George's Episcopal Church. He was interested in the insurance firm of Chichester and Dickson, now managed by his nephew, D. M. Chichester, and operated until his death several years ago by his brother, the late J. Conway Chichester, city sergeant. The funeral service will be held at the home at 2:30 p. m. Sunday, conducted by the Rev. Thomas G. Faulkner, Jr., rector of St. George's. Burial will take place in City Cemetery. In addition to his wife, Mr. Chichester is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Richard D. Hull, of Westfield, N. J.; two sisters, Mrs. Mary C. Lewis, of Bethesda, Md., and Mrs. Hallie C.
