       CHARLES S. CHAMBERS,
   
   [p. 533] general farmer, residing on the old Hugh Chambers farm, which
   is situated about two miles northwest of Mahoningtown, near the Mount
   Jackson and Covert Station road, belongs to one of North Beaver
   Township's old established families. He was born in a small log house
   which stood across the field from his present residence, in North Beaver
   Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, April 14, 1862. His parents
   were Hugh and Hannah (Warwick) Chambers.
   
   Hugh Chambers was born also in North Beaver Township, on the farm now
   occupied by Harry B. Chambers, and was a son of Samuel and a grandson of
   Captain William Chambers, both of whom were born in Ireland. Captain
   Chambers owned a farm on Hickory Creek, on which he reared his family
   and subsequently died. Later his son, Samuel, moved to a farm near
   Covert's Station, and on that property, in 1850, built the large brick
   house which is the residence of Harry B. Chambers. Hugh Chambers married
   Hannah Warwick as his second wife. She was born in Ireland, and was
   eleven years of age when her father, William Warwick, brought his family
   to America and settled in North Beaver Township, Lawrence County, west
   of the Westfield Church. To Hugh and Hannah Chambers were born the
   following children: Charles S., James Harvey, residing in Montana;
   William A., a minister of the United Presbyterian Church, residing at
   Akron, Ohio; Harry B., a prominent farmer residing in North Beaver
   Township; John Milton, deceased; Sarah Cochran, died in childhood;
   Jessie B., deceased, married Everett Taylor, who resides near New
   Galilee; Hugh McClelland, died in boyhood; and Mary L., who resides with
   her brother, Charles S. Hugh Chambers was married (first) to Phoebe
   Mars, and they had five children, namely Agnes, residing at
   Mahoningtown, who married George W. Pitzer; Samuel, died aged five
   years; Alexander, deceased; Robert, died aged forty-three years; and
   Jennie, who was the wife of Albert Spaulding, died in Montana. Hugh
   Chambers died in January, 1902. His second wife died in March, 1897.
   
   Charles S. Chambers and sister both were reared and educated in their
   native township. In the spring of 1868 the parents settled on the
   present farm, which is a valuable tract of 100 acres. Here Mr. Chambers
   carries on a general agricultural line, finding both profit and
   contentment in improving and cultivating the place on which he has spent
   the greater part of his life. Both he and sister are valued members of
   the Mount Jackson United Presbyterian Church.
