Twenty yeara later, in 1929, he

Johnston over Dr. O. F. Willing.
That was the year thst Johnny

In the sudden and shocking death
at H. Chandler Egan Med ford loses
her most famous citizen, known as
a. golfer, not only In this country
from coast to coast, but throughout
the world. In the opinion of many
golfing experts Egan wss the great
est competitive golfer who ever
lived, winning the national amateur
title when an undergraduate at Har
vard two successive years. 1904 and
1005, andncsrly a quarter of a cen
tury later, after several years ab
sence from tournament play, a man
of middle age, reaching the semi
finals In the national amateur at
Pebble Beach, California, the year
the then-champion, Bobby Jonea,
was nut out by Johnny Goodman of
Omaha. A few yeara later he de
featcd Ororge Von Elm, then rank
lng Among the first two or three
in the amateur ranks, and because
of his outstanding play that year,
was chosen for the Wslker Cup team
which defeated the Britishers In
England. Only a few months ago a
speclsl article In the American
Golfer was published about Chan,
written by a well-known golfing ex
pert, who maintained while there
were no doubt greater golfers, in
amateur ranks, naming Jones and
Little as two, there had never been
a golfer who, during s long period
erf lime, maintained such a high I
average In competitive play, and ac
claimed him as one of the greatest
exponents of the game, and finest
sportsmen, this greet Scotch game
had ever seen.
While maintaining his sensational
prowess as a golfer up to the very
time of his desth; of late years,
Chsn had been devoting more and
more of his time as golf srchltect,
planning and laying out golf
coursei, having been called a year
ago to draw plans for the Bobby
Jones course In Georgia, new
course In Spokane, and it was while
on a trip to Everett, Wash., to
supervise the construction of the
Legion course In that city, that he
contracted a severe cold, which do
veloped Into pneumonls, resulting
In his fatal Illness. There Is no
doubt that had his life been spsred
he would have reached an eminence
in golfing architecture, as outstsnd
lng as his earlier eminence in tne
game Itself.
In recognition of his long service
to the game, he was msde a mem
ber of the executive committee of
the TT. S. Golf association several
yenrs ago and planned to attend a
meeting of this committee In the
East shortly sfter the conclusion of
his work at Everett.
While to the outside world Chand
ler was known chiefly as a golfer,
st his home here In Medford. he
wss known not only ss thst, but as
a high-minded and loyal citizen, a
devoted friend, one always taking
an active Intelligent Interest, If not
a prominent part, In all movemeuts
looking toward the development ana
betterment of this section of the
stste. Thanks largely to his efforts,
his professional services given with
out a thought or remuneration,
Medford was one of the first plsces
of Its else In the state to have
golf course, and It was Chan who
laid out, designed and supervised
the present 18-hole course of the
Rogue Valley golf club, east of me
city, which will slwaya remain as a
lasting monument to his Interest in
the game, his devotion to this com
muntty and fine sense of dlsinher
lted public service.
To say that his death has thrown
a pall of gloom over the city and
valley, would be an understatement
of the case as It exlwts today. From
all sides, from all walks of life, from
old and from young, have come ex
presslons of grief and sorrow over
the news of his sudden and unex
pected passing. While Ms intlmaws
were few, his acquaintanceship was
Isrge, and miring his long residence
here since 1910, he hsd by his mod
esty, naturalness and personal
ohsrm, endeared himself literally to
all.
He leaves to mourn hla loss, Mrs.
EKsn. the former Alice Barrett ol
Chicago, and a daughter by
earlier marriage, Mrs. Morris Everett
of Cleveland. His first wife was the
former Nena MrNally of Chicago.
He also leaves one brother, Brad
shaw Egan, a married sister, and
his mother, Mrs. Wm. C. Egan, alt
of Chicago.
