General Notes: Husband - John Chambers

---

He learned the trade of tanner and owned and operated a large tannery success-fully for many years. In connection with his tannery he owned and managed two farms which were situated near Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County. In all business matters he was straight-forward, ac-curate and honorable. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and was an old-line whig in politics until the formation of the Republican party when he became a member of that organization.
