Mrs. Julia SEXTON CHICK, 71 years old, died yesterday morning at the home of her son-in-law, Judge E. E. PORTERFIELD, 1010 Park Avenue. She was the widow of the late Joseph S. CHICK, president of the National Bank of Kansas City, who died December 7, 1908. Mrs. CHICK was born in Howard County, Missouri, in 1840, where she lived until coming to Kansas City in 1858. Three years later she was married to Joseph CHICK, Kansas City's first banker, who had lived here since 1836. In 1862, border troubles caused them to cross the plains to New Mexico by way of the Santa Fe Trail. The trip, in a covered wagon, took thirty-seven days. They remained in New Mexico for one year, Mr. CHICK being interested in the trading business. The return trip took thirty-nine days. Shortly after this, the two went to New York, where they lived eleven years. Since that time, Mrs. CHICK had lived in Kansas City in the old family home, 1029 Brooklyn Avenue. After the death of her husband, she went to live at the home of Judge PORTERFIELD. During her life she was an active worker in the Central Methodist Church. Mrs. CHICK is survived by a daughter, Mrs. PORTERFIELD; a son, Joseph S. CHICK of the Chick Investment Company, both of Kansas City, and four grandchildren, Mrs. Helen CHICK CALDWELL, Columbus, O.; Edward E. PORTERFIELD and Joseph S. CHICK, Jr., of Kansas City.
