General Notes: Husband - William Lyon Chambers

---

He was educated at the Chambersburg Academy. He studied at Marshall College, Mercersburg, 1838-40, and was afterward graduated at Yale, in 1843. After leaving college he returned to his old home, and upon his marriage settled on a farm half-way between Scotland and Greenvillage, called the Clifton Farm. He left the farm in 1855, when he returned to Chambersburg, where he lived in the fine old stone mansion in which his great-grandfather, Col. Benjamin Chambers died. For a brief period he was engaged in the forwarding and commission business in partnership with Dr. Edmund Culbertson and Col. D. O. Gehr. He was for many years president of the National Bank of Chambersburg, and was a director of the Baltimore & Cumberland Valley Railroad. For many years he was engaged in looking after his numerous farms in Franklin county. In politics he was a Whig and Republican. He was active in promoting the educational interests of the town and county, and was a trustee of Wilson College for Women, and of the Chambersburg Academy. He was a member of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church.
