Edgar L. Boyd ~ Mollie Chalfant Fayette County, Pennsylvania William B. Chalfant, a prominent and experienced physician who is now located at Pennsville, was born on a farm in Jefferson township, Fayette County, Penna; January 17,1835, and is a son of Walter B. Chalfant and Mollie Budd BROWN Chalfant. His father was born in Fayette county, Penna; and his mother was a native of New Jersey. His paternal grandparents, Chads and Margaret Chalfant, as the name indicates, were of French origin, their ancestors having emigrated to this country in Penn's colony. Dr. Chalfant was reared on his father's farm until the age of eighteen years, when he entered California Seminary, now S. W. P. Normal School. For three years he taught winter terms in the common schools, and attended summer sessions at the seminary. In 1856 he entered the office of his brother, Dr Charles B. Chalfant, at Belle Vernon, as a student of medicine and remained with him until November 1859, when he attended lectures at Western Reserve Medical College of Cleveland, Ohio. He began the practice of medicine in March 1860, at Donegal, Westmoreland County, Penna; but in October following removed to Bolivar, same county, where he remained one year. From Bolivar he went to Youngstown and practiced until May 1864, when he removed to Whitely, Greene County, Penna; and remained seven months. Leaving Whitely in December 1864, he went to Brownsville, and was in active practice there until April 1867, when he removed to his present location at Pennsville and where he has been engaged until the present time in the successful practice of his profession. In June 1860, he was married to Ellen E. Fowler, daughter of John and Elizabeth Fowler of Westmoreland County, Penna. To them were born seven children, of whom five are living: MOLLIE Chalfant, wife of Edgar L. Boyd; Anna B Chalfant; John Fowler Chalfant; Ethel Winonia Chalfant; and Vivian Mellon Chalfant. Dr. Chalfant has belonged to several secret societies. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and since his membership in 1860 has held all the offices of that church. He is a member of Fayette County Medical Society, and also of the Fayette and Westmoreland Medical Association.
