Sudden Death of Former Alderman Edmund Tichenor
Attack of Heart Trouble Tuesday Proves Fatal
Passes Away at Home After a Brief Illness
In the midst of active business enterprises and with the brightest of prospects for the future, Edmund L. Tichenor, former member of the Common Council, died suddenly Tuesday night at 11:30, at the age of 42 years. The end came while he was surrounded by his loved ones in his home at 59 Wickham avenue.
For some days past Mr. Tichenor had not been feeling well but his condition was improving, and neither he nor his relatives and friends were apprehensive that he was soon to depart, and when the news was received it caused general surprise and great sadness. The immediate cause of death was angina pectoria, he having had similar attacks of heart trouble during the past year.
Mr. Tichenor had been a resident of this city for many years. Previous to embarking in the wholesale paper business, years ago, when the firm of Tichenor & Rudolph was formed, the deceased was a traveling salesman for a large New York grocery house. The firm of Tichenor & Rudolph dissolved several years ago, since which time Mr. Tichenor had conducted the business, the place being located at 43-45 Mill street.
From the time the deceased became a resident of this city to the day of his death he took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to its progress. A man possessed of good executive ability, progressive, and combining the essential principles of an excellent citizen, he was ever desirous of accruing the greatest good to the largest number of his fellow citizens. Hence it was that Mr. Tichenor was called to fill positions of trust in city government. He served as a Republican alderman from the second ward from January 1, 1911, to January 1, 1913, and during that time was a member of several important committees, being a member of the Laws and Rules Committee of the council of 1911 and by virtue of this, becoming a member of the Charter Revision Committee, of 11 members.
In all the business of the city during his term of office Mr. Tichenor was alert, his voice being frequently heard in the Council chamber, where he always stood for what he believed to be right and just to all, irrespective of his party connections. Sometimes, in his determination to take certain positions which he deemed best it was necessary for him to oppose his friends but this did not deter the official from discharging his obligations in his characteristically fearless and intelligent manner.
Mr. Tichenor had been mentioned as a candidate for the office of mayor at the next election and it had been arranged that his name was to have been presented to the convention for the nomination.
In his home life Mr. Tichenor was an ideal husband and father, his home having a greater attraction for him than any other place on earth, and the welfare of his dear ones his first consideration. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Constance and Margaret, and have the heartfelt sympathies of all in their great affliction.
The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.
