A partial collection of people, places and events that have made
Chesapeake City the unique and desirable location that it has become today.
Parameters/Prerequisites:
Deceased, well known by many residents during his/her lifetime,
long time resident of Chesapeake City or vicinity and lived here in 1975
or before.
The absence of a name is in no way an indication that the person is not
remembered or
that they did not make a significant contribution to Chesapeake City.
With few exceptions,
it is a listing of names that I remember who have been deceased for many (30+?)
years.
