Son of Rev. Claudius Lysias and Mabel Pierce Chilton, q.v. he was named to honor Rev. Edward McKendree Bounds, q.v. In written correspondence he was sometimes addressed by his initials, ABC.
Arthur earned the LL.B from University of Alabama in 1916. He was practicing law in Alabama, but as a member of the Army Reserves went to France in 1918 as a captain in what was called the Intelligence Corps, what today we would call Communications. He did not see combat but spent his time transmitting orders among HQs. After the war, Arthur returned to law practice in Montgomery and then law at U. Alabama, 1920-22. President Hoover appointed Arthur B. Chilton as U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama. In 1933, new President Roosevelt could have removed him from this federal office, but he declined to do so.
Like many of his siblings q.v., Arthur Bounds Chilton died young of the polycystic kidney disorder inherited from the maternal Pierce line. His wife, Fannylu Wheeler Chilton, q.v. outlived her husband by 54 years.
