Aged 75 years; a native of Brooklyn, New York.
Husband of Angelica Duncan.
Lieutenant, Confederate Army, The War between the States. Co. A, Crescent Regiment, Louisiana Infantry. Fought in the "Hornet's Nest" at the battle of Shiloh and Mansfield, LA where his comrades and commanders were killed around him. His brother James joined the Union Cavalry and thirty years passed before the two were reconciled.
After the war Chauncey returned to his wife and family in New Orleans and for forty years worked as a marine reporter for the New Orleans Times-Democrat. He was involved through his membership in the Army of Tennessee Louisiana Division Association in the erection of their tumulus and monument in Metairie Cemetery. He was therefore reserved a burial plot in this vault, his name being engraved on the bronze plaque of crypt 38. His wife having died prior to the completion of the tumulus, he commissioned a Webb family tomb to be erected in the same cemetery and upon his death his remains were here placed. He died suddenly at his daughter Louise's home in Long Beach, MS. Chauncey was a Freemason as well as a Roman Catholic and so received both Catholic and Masonic funereal rites. In Pace Requiescat.
