The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the residence and interment will take place in the Masonic cemetery. The obsequies will be conducted by Rev. B. F.

James B. Chambers was born in Quincy, Logan county, Ohio, April 20,1830, and died at Eugene, Oregon, March 25, 1902.
His early life was spent in Ohio. In 1866 he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Quincy, Ohio, and continued a member of that denomination until his death. On January 29, 1865 he was married to Miss Martha Nies, who with three sons, Frank, Charles and Fred, survive. He came to Oregon in 1884, and located in Eugene in 1887.
His fifteen years of active business life in this city has made his circle of friends and acquaintances very wide. The effect of his quiet and assuming career can not be well estimated. He was known as a man of good judgment and practical piety. He may have been somewhat different, but he never refused to perform what was set before him as a duty. The first Sunday he spent in Eugene he united with the Humphrey Memorial M. E. church, and from that day until his death was actively interested in all that pertains to the welfare of the,church. Called to the several offices of the church open to laymen he honored every one of them. He was a firm believer in the doctrines and discipline of the church of his choice, yet full of Christian grace and charity, having a warm fplace in his heart for all christians. He was a true husband, kind and affectionate father and, surrounded by those who were dearest to him, he passed away. His name is precious and his life fragrant to our memory. The home, the church, the community will sorely miss his presence and influence. The precious communion he held with his Lord caused him to triumph when the hour of dissolution came, for he was ready to depart and be with Christ, which was far better.
She who was ever at his side, mourns her loss, but sorrows not as those who have no hope.—Eugene, Oregon Guard. [CLARINDA HERALD]

known he was worse than usual, when he was suddenly stricken on the streets of Conway where he had gone, accompanied by his wife and daughter. He was carried into a home there where all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done, but he only rallied to bid his dear ones a  final farewell.
