One of Manchester’s Oldest Resi- 
dents Dead. 
Jacob Cheever, one of Manches- 
ter’s oldest and esteemed citizens, 
passed away early Tuesday after a 
two weeks’ illness at the advanced 
age of 92 years, 4 months, 6 days. 
Mr. Cheever was born in Man- 
chester May 6, 1819, and made his 
home here all his life except the few 
years when he lived in Portland, 
Me. He worked at the cabinet busi- 
ness for a number of years, his last 
years of work being in the Leach & 
Annable shops. The deceased was a 
most earnest Bible scholar, reading 
his bible each day without fail, and 
although he was not connected with 
any church he was an earnest chris- 
tian worker and ever doing good for 
the community. He was possessed 
of a naturally bright and sunny dis- 
position, while his reputation of fair 
dealing and honesty was among his 
sterling qualities. 
He leaves one son, John R. 
Cheever, and one daughter, Mrs. 
Charles O. Lee, two grandchildren, 
Richard and Frank Cheever and one 
ereat-granddaughter, Helen Chee- 
yer, also a step-brother, William 
Cheever.

Mr. Cheever’s father, Ja- 
cob Cheever senior, died at the age 
of 94 years. 
Mr. Cheever’s death removes an- 
other of the men that have been 
identified with the town for the last 
three generations, and that have 
seen the town pass successively from 
the fisher village to a cabinet and 
furniture making center to a sum- 
mer resort. He came from some of 
the ‘‘good old  stock,’’ identified 
with the town’s early history. He 
was a direct descendant of Ames 
Cheever,’ the first minister of the 
Orthodox Congregational meeting 
house. He was also a descendant of 
Ezekiel Cheever, the first Latin 
teacher in the Boston public schools, 
who came from Oxford, England, to 
Boston, to teach. 
Funeral services were held Thurs- 
day afternoon at two o’clock. The 
Rey. Dr. Williams of Gloucester, 
officiated. Burial was in Rosedale 
cemetery.
