DIED AT AN OLD AGE.
Uncle John
Chamberlain Gone to His
Reward Aged 80 Years.
For
several months past Uncle John Chamberlain, as everybody affectionately called him, has lingered at the point
of death, and more than once it was thought he could survive only a few hours;
but his kindly spirit lingered this side of the threshold of eternity, as if
reluctant to part with those so dear to him. But on Monday evening as the
shades of darkness were about to close the day the angel of God gave the final
summons and the spirit released itself from the bonds of flesh, to soar in a
world grander and brighter. More than four score years of labor; of honorable
service in the ranks of mankind, and the end: A slight struggle, death, and the
energies of a lifetime only dust in the memory of his children and friends. But
the deceased. But Uncle John had performed works that will not crumble into dust, if we may believe the
divine teacher. He was a life long, and a practical Christian. He loved his
neighbor as himself and was a living example of the truths of Christianity. The
funeral services were held at the residence at 4:30 o'clock p. m. Tuesday,
conducted by Rev. J. C. Lewis of the Baptist church. The remains were taken to
Henry County Illinois, for interment where his wife was buried in 1871.
John
Chamberlain was born in New
Jersey Nov. 17, 1814, and in his early boyhood moved with his parents to
Pennsylvania and lived in that state until 1820, when he moved to Ohio. While
living in Ohio, in 1841, he was married to Miss Mary Titus and soon after moved to Whiteside County, Ill.,
and afterwards to Henry County in the same state. During their residence in
Henry County Mrs. Chamberlain died and was buried in the Oxford cemetery. Mr. Chamberlain came to Taylor County in 1883 since which time he
has been a resident of Bedford, himself and daughter Maggie making their home together, in the southeast part
of town. Four children survive: Lee Chamberlain who lives in Henry County, Ill., Miss Maggie and G. H. Chamberlain, both residents of this community, and J. J.
Chamberlain living in Nebraska.
Tuesday
evening the remains were shipped to Illinois, for interment in the Oxford cemetery.
