DOC Ty SAA-T ynu 5 5 y William Edwin Chilton ILLIAM EDWIN CHILTON was born in 1858, on a farm near St. Albans, Kanawha County. West Virg:inia. He is the third of five sons of W. E. and Mary Elizabeth (Wilson) Chilton. The family is of English ancestry on both the paternal and maternal sides, with an Irish strain in it, and came to this country early in the history of the Virginia colony. He received a common school education, and studied Latin, mathematics and litera- ture under a private tutor. He attended Shelton College under the presidency of Dr. P. B. Reynolds, afterwards President of West Virginia University. At the age of seven- teen years he taught school in the country and worked on a farm. Being ambitious to carve out a wider career, he studied law in the intervals. He was admitted to the bar when he was twenty-one years of age, and went into partnership with the late Senator John E. Kenna. Later he organized the law firm of Chilton, MacCorkle and Chilton, of which the other two members were ex-Governor MacCorkle, and Mr. Chilton ' s brother, Joseph. In 1910 he was elected United States Senator from West Virginia. He was married in 1892 to Miss Mary Tarr, and has two sons and two daughters. Senator Chilton is a courteous gentleman, a musician and a lover of music, a man of high intellect, a brilliant orator, and an active constructive statesman. He has striven and attained with the unconquerable spirit of the true mountain dweller. 2 OCX ]1917C 2 iXZlD
