St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 21 - Chester A. Congdon of Duluth, Republican national committeeman from Minnesota, died at a local hotel here today [of heart trouble] after an illness of two weeks.
Chester A. Congdon, it was generally believed, was one of the richest men in Minnesota, not barring the estate of the late James J. Hill.
He was a native of Rochester, N. Y., where he was born in 1853. He practiced law in St. Paul from 1890 to 1892 when he moved to Duluth. He was heavily interested in iron mining, was first vice president of the American Exchange bank, Duluth, and a director of several northwest mercantile companies.
