Hell Everyone, Does anyone know what these papers are about??? This Collection is held in The Filson Historical Society, Louisville,Ky. I am soooooooo curious because this is the name of my ggrandmother, Margaret Chambers b. abt. 1869 in Kentucky. She married Alonzo Arnold b. 1856 and they married abt. 1888/1889. Alonzos' mother was also Margaret but I don't have her maiden name. Does anyone know what these papers are about???? Thanks Again. Sincerely, Patty Reilly

This is in response to the post of Patty concerning Margaret Chambers. Other than the article below I have not been able to find connecting Chamber relatives. As R.O. Chambers married a Claybrooke I persue his family history. Any help with a connection will be greatly appreciated. Jim Johnson Smyrna, TN R. O. CHAMBERS TAKEN BY DEATH PROMINENT MASON COUNTY LANDOWNER AN INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN DIED FRIDAY AT LEXINGTON HOSPITAL AFTER LONG ILLNESS. Mr. R. O. Chambers, prominent Mason County landowner and influential citizen of Maysville, Ky., died at ten o'clock Friday night at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Lexington, his death following an illness of almost one year of infectious arthritis. The body was taken to his home in Maysville to await burial. The son of George and Mary Chambers, deceased was born at Tranquility, Ohio. He received his early education in local schools there, finishing his higher education in Lebanon, O. In early manhood he came to Kentucky and taught school in different sections of the state over a period of fifteen years, following which he engaged in farming and stockraising, becomming one of the most prominent farmers and tobacco growers in Kentucky. He also was identified with the banking interests at Maysville, being director of the Bank of Maysville, and was vice-president of the Federal Land Bank of Louisville. Mr. Chambers was twice married. His second wife, who was Miss Pearl Claybrooke of this city, survives him. He also leaves two children by his first marriage, Mrs. Aldora Johnson, Paris, Ky., and Rolla Chambers of Sardis, Ky.
