      HARRY B. CHAMBERS,
  
  [p. 613] who carries on general farming and dairying on his well
  cultivated tract of eighty-three acres of land in North Beaver Township,
  was born on an adjoining farm, June 4, 1866. He is a son of Hugh and
  Hannah (Warwick) Chambers.
  
  The Chambers family is one of the old and substantial ones of this
  section of Lawrence County. Capt. William Chambers, a native of Ireland,
  the great-grandfather of Harry B. founded it. The grandfather, Samuel
  Chambers, accompanied his parents from Ireland and was reared in North
  Beaver Township, where he became a large landowner. The farm owned by
  Harry B. Chambers was formerly the property of the grandfather who
  erected the large brick house about 1850, and later the commodious barn
  and other buildings. Hugh Chambers was twice married and had nine
  children by the second union and four by the first. He died in March,
  1903, on his large farm in North Beaver Township, surviving his second
  wife, the mother of Harry B., for four years.
  
  Harry B. Chambers was reared on the farm that adjoins his own. He was
  educated in the country schools and at Grove City College, and then
  became a teacher. He taught for two years in West New Castle, one year
  at Moravia and one year at Chewton, meeting with success in the
  educational field.
  
  In 1889 Mr. Chambers was married to Elizabeth Kelso, a daughter of John
  Kelso, and they have had five children, namely: Howard, Harvey, Mary,
  Helen and Elizabeth. Little Mary died in her sixth year. Mr. Chambers
  came to his present farm in 1899. It is situated on the
  Mahoningtown-Covert road, about two and one-half miles northwest of the
  former place and the land is admirably adapted to both farming and dairying.
