      JAMES A. CHAMBERS,
  
  [p. 665] attorney-at-law at New Castle, and a member of the firm of
  Akens, Wilkison, Lockhart & Chambers, one of the leading law firms of
  the city, was born in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1877, and is a
  son of Joseph B. Chambers.
  
  James A. Chambers was reared at Eastbrook, Lawrence County, where his
  father followed his trade of stonemason. From the Eastbrook schools he
  went to Volant Academy, then to Westminster College, from which he was
  graduated in the class of 1900. Mr. Chambers taught school for three
  years in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and two terms in the Normal
  School at Indiana, Pa., and then entered upon the study of the
  profession in which he has met with a large measure of success. He was
  prepared for the bar in the office of Judge Aaron L. Hazen and was
  admitted in 1903. For a few months he retained a desk in the office of
  Judge Hazen and then accepted the position of secretary of the Chamber
  of Commerce and transferred his law office there, during his one year of
  service. He was subsequently associated for two years with W. Moffatt
  and then became a member of his present firm. He belongs to the Lawrence
  County Bar Association.
  
  On June 28, 1906, Mr. Chambers was married to Miss Grace Elder, who is a
  daughter of James Elder, of Wilmington Junction. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers
  are members of the First United Presbyterian Church.
