Old Merchants, 
Walter Barrett, 
Thomas R. Knox, 1885

Another of these old dry good merchants now retired, and a resident of the 
Seventh Ward, is Abner Chichester. He made a large fortune by steady devotion 
to business and lives to enjoy it, without changing his habits of life or 
moving into the Fifth Avenue. He was in business in Pearl Street, near Fulton, 
of the firm of Chichester and Van Wyck for a long period.

One of his daughters married Jackson S. Schultz of the firm of Jackson Schultz 
and Company, the large leather dealers in Pearl Street. Mr. Schultz is a 
director in the Park Bank and has lately distinguished himself by his active 
exertions in putting down this war.

Another daughter married Robert M. Stregeigh, principal business manager and 
one of the wealthiest  and most liberal stockholders of the New York Tribune, 
who has a fine mansion on East Thirty Fifth Street.
