General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Chambers

---

He was educated at the Chambersburg Academy. He studied law with his father and was admitted to the Franklin County Bar in 1843. He practiced his profession at Chambersburg for a brief period, and it is said that an argument made by him before Judge Black was pronounced by that eminent jurist, the best he had ever heard. After his retirement from the Bar he gave his time to care of his estate and to study. He sometimes contributed articles of local historical interest to the newspapers. He was a man of extensive reading and amiable personal traits.
