Edward Hunt Chidlaw. Of the men who have actively participated in the agricultural transformation of the southern part of Hamilton county, during the last quarter of a century, few are better known than Edward Hunt Chidlaw, the renter of a fine farm not far from Cleves, which has been his home for nearly fifty years. He was born in Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio, January 5, 1871, a son of John Chidlaw, whose biography appears upon other pages of these volumes. E. H. Chidlaw obtained his early education in the public schools of his native township, and later in the Northern Ohio Normal College of Ada, Ohio. After completing his course of study here, he entered the Cincinnati Pharmaceutical College. Later he returned to the home farm where he is at present engaged in general farming. In politics, Mr. Chidlaw holds allegiance to the Republican party, and has held the office of election judge for many years. He is also popular in fraternal circles, being a valued member of the Grange, the Modern Woodmen, and the various Masonic bodies. Mr. Chidlaw was married, in 1890, to Miss Caroline Geese, a daughter of Columbus and Catherine Geese, well-known residents of Coshocton county, Ohio. To this union were born eight children as follows: Victor, who resides in Detroit, Michigan; Thomas, also living in Detroit; John, who lives at Fresno, Cal.; Paul, Mary, Ruth, George, and Esther, all of whom reside at home. Thomas Chidlaw, second son of Edward H. Chidlaw, enlisted during the great war in the aviation service. He served fourteen months in service, six months overseas as a private. Edward H. Chidlaw is a public-spirited, upright man who takes an intelligent interest in local matters and few men in the county stand any higher in the estimation of their associates than he.
