Chamberlain, Abraham - Died. At Hawleyville, on Sunday morning, Sept 3, 1876, Abram O. Chamberlain, aged 87 years.

He was born in Allentown, N.J., in 1780. In 1812 he enlisted in the New Jersey Camden Grays, but the war closed before he got into any engagements. About the year 1822, he left New Jersey and went into Ohio, and settled down at Lebanon. Here he got married and lived until 1856, when he moved with his family into Illinois, settling at Peoria. His family came here in 1859, and he traveled for a few years, but finally settled here himself in 1863. When he resided in Ohio he belonged to the Universalist church, after he came here he connected himself with the M.E. Church, and until his death was an honored member. He was one of those naturally good men, who are christians, and whom all men like. He passed over the river as calm as a child would sleep, and when his light went out there is no doubt but he entered the paradise of the blessed and redeemed, with a halo of glory covering him for the manly and noble acts of his life while here on earth. On Monday his remains were brought from Hawleyville to our town, and the funeral service held in the M.E. Church, and conducted by Thos. Wallace, who had been telegraphed to come and do so. After the service the remains were taken to the cemetery, followed by many of our citizens, and was there buried in the same lot where his wife and some of his children were buried.

Thus ends the life of a noble and good man. He leaves several children and grand-children, and an innumerable amount of friends to mourn his loss. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 7, 1876

All that loving hearts and hands could do was done to relieve her suffering, but the Master had a place for her and He called her home. She was a loving wife and mother, a kind neighbor, and will be sadly missed by a host of relatives, friends and neighbors. The last night of her life was spent with her children. She said she was happy to think that she had such a large family and was glad to know that they could all be there to help care for her.

Funeral services were held in Clarinda at the United Brethren church, Monday afternoon at 10 o'clock. Rev Shackleford had charge of the services. Burial was in Memory cemetery.
