LOUISA J. VOGT CHAMBERS, daughter of MR. and MRS. HENRY J. VOGT, was born December 25, l857, near Woodland, Iowa, and departed this life at her home in Leon, Iowa, Sunday, July 2, l9l6. In l9l2, with her husband and family, she moved to Leon where she has resided ever since. Thus her entire life was spent in Decatur County.

February 28, l884, she was married to AMOS CHAMBERS. Four children were born of this union, namely, OLIVE, GUY, MRS. EDITH WATERS and GLADYS. Her departure is mourned by her husband, her children, one brother and two sisters. They deeply feel the loss of a faithful wife, a loving mother, a true and tried sister.

MRS. CHAMBERS was a sincere and faithful woman. It was her meat and drink to serve and care for her loved ones; and as she had opportunity she did good to all men. Her work on earth is done. She rests from her labors. All who knew her speak well of her and cherish her memory. It could not be otherwise.

The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Raoul R. Moser, Pastor of the local Methodist Church, officiating. The burial took place in Leon's beautiful and peaceful cemetery.
