      ALEXANDER CHAMBERS,
  
  [p. 422] who was once one of North Beaver Township's most esteemed
  citizens, was a native of this township and belonged to one of the
  oldest and most honorable families of this part of Lawrence County. He
  was born June 16, 1856, and died April 9, 1893, aged thirty-seven years.
  His parents were Hugh and Phebe (Myers) Chambers.
  
  Hugh Chambers was also born and reared in North Beaver Township. He was
  twice married and was the father of fourteen children, five being born
  to his first union and nine to the second. Of the first family but one
  survives, Agnes, who married George W. Pitzer. The survivors of the
  second family are: Charles who lives on the old homestead; Harvey, who
  is a farmer, near Bozeman, Mont.; William, a clergyman, who is pastor of
  the United Presbyterian Church at Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Jessie B. Taylor,
  who resides in Big Beaver Township; Harry B., and Mary Lu, who lives on
  the old home place.
  
  The late Alexander Chambers was the third oldest of the large family
  born to his parents. He was reared and educated in his native township
  and devoted his life entirely to agricultural pursuits. He married
  Jennie Hulton, who is a daughter of James and Susanna (Warwick) Hulton.
  She was born and reared in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, twelve miles
  from Pittsburg, in the village of Hulton, which had been named in honor
  of her grandfather, Jonathan Hulton. The latter was a prominent early
  settler in that locality. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Chambers spent six
  years on the farm which is now occupied by Harry B. Chambers, and then
  moved to the farm which Mrs. Chambers has occupied ever since. It
  contains eighty-seven acres and lies on the Mahoningtown-Covert road,
  about one-half mile north-west of the former place. Her four children
  reside with her, namely: Hugh H., Addison H., Stewart H., and Susan.
  Mrs. Chambers and family belong to the Mahoningtown Presbyterian Church,
  of which Mr. Chambers was also a valued member.
