General Notes: Husband - Judge James C. Chambers
He grew to manhood on the old family farm, and remained there until thirty years of age. His school privileges were of a very limited character, and in his case (to quote his own words) "proficiency in the 'three R's' was the synonym for a 'full-fledged graduate.' " In 1839 he removed to Morris township, Washington County, where he remained fourteen years. In February, 1854, he moved to a home in Amwell township.
In politics Judge Chambers was for many years one of the most active men in Washington County, originally as an uncompromising Whig, afterward as a member of the American party, and he was one of the "Committee of Ten" appointed to sit in convention for the purpose of organizing the Republican party in Washington County. This convention was held in the "Fulton House," Washington, March 18, 1856, the platform being occupied by Whigs, Americans, and kindred others whose leanings were toward the Republican phase of politics.
In later years the Judge practically retired from political life, but he never failed to assert his rights as an American citizen at the polls. In 1866 he was elected associate judge for Washington county, his official term coming to a close at the end of five years. So highly satisfactory, and with such a degree of integrity and strict impartiality had he discharged the duties of his responsible position, that at a meeting of the members of the bar and officers of the court, held in the court-room November 17, 1871, resolutions were passed bearing testimony to the high regard in which the retiring judge was held. The proceedings were presented in open court, and Judge Acheson directed them to be filed and entered on record, as so requested in one of the resolutions.
On the occasion of the eightieth anniversary of Judge Chambers' birth, about sixty of his friends gathered at his home, and as a token of the high regard he commanded in the community, and substantial evidence of the unbounded respect in which he was held, he was made the recipient of several valuable presents.
The Judge, in 1835, was commissioned a captain in the cavalry.
Judge Chambers was a member of the Disciple Church fifty years, and served as elder in the same four decades.
