Furnished Financial Backing and
Encouragement for Civic Movements
----------
For sixty-five years Mr. Cheney has lived in Shelbyville and has not watched the growth of the city, but throughout these years has taken an active part in its development. Many years ago he owned a tract of land south of the city which is now known as the Cheney addition. He plotted the ground, developed it and sold the lots, making of it one of the largest and most important additions to the city.
Mr. Cheney has always taken an active part in the encouragement of civic interest and has always been ready to back anything for the good of the city. In 1883 he furnished the financial backing for a baseball club known as the "Shelbyville Clippers," a team which gained for itself and the city a great deal of recognition. Several of the players later went to the National League, one of whom, Ramsey, became one of the greatest pitchers in the National League. At one time Mr. Cheney, with several other local men developed rather extensive mining interests in Wyoming and other western states.
Mr. Cheney was born in Greensburg October 4, 1854, the son of John and Mariah Cheney and came with them to this city when about seven years of age. Since that time he has lived here except for winters spent in Florida during recent years.
He was married to Miss Alice Doran, daughter of Redin and Jane Doran, October 6, 1881. To this union two sons were born, both of whom have preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife and two brothers, John C. Cheney, well known attorney of this city and Ed C. Cheney, of Jacksonville, Florida.
Mr. Cheney was a member of the First Baptist church of Shelbyville and a charter member of Kiowa Tribe of Red Men No. 199, of this city, which lodge will take part in the funeral services.
Funeral services will be held at the home at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon with the Rev. Horace N. Spear and the Rev. I. C. Overman officiating. Friends may call at the home Sunday afternoon and evening and up to the hour of the funeral Tuesday. Burial will be in Forest Hill cemetery in charge of C. F. Fix and Son, funeral directors. Friends are asked to omit flowers.
