Biography:
JOHN D. CHAMBERS, M. D. Established in the practice of his profession in the city of Fort Wayne for the past thirty years, Dr. Chambers has gained a posi- tion of no uncertain precedence as an able physician and surgeon, while as a citizen he is held in unquahfied esteem. As a repre- sentative member of the medical fraternity in Allen county he is entitled to specific recognition in this work. Dr. Chambers claims the old Empire state of the Union as the place of his nativity, having been born in Alabama, Genesee county, New York, on the 19th of July, 1844, and being a son of James Boyd and Mahala (Mandeville) Chambers. His paternal grand- parents were of stanch Irish stock and from county Monaghan, in the Emerald Isle, they immigrated to America in 1798, settling in the town of Salem, Washington county. New York, where James B. Chambers, father of the subject, was born in the year 1804. IVla- hala (Mandeville) Chambers was born in Ovid, Seneca county, New York, in 1806, her parents being of English and Welsh ex- traction, while her paternal grandfather served with distinction as a Continental soldier during the war of the Revolution, in which he was a captain. About 1848 the parents of Dr. Chambers removed from New York to Michigan and settled in Lenawee county, where they passed the remainder of their lives, the father having followed the vocation of farming during the major portion of his active career. The Doctor passed his boyhood days in Macon, Lenawee county, Michigan, in whose common scliools he secured his preliminary edu- cational training, while he later fitted himself for college by attend- ing an excellent preparatory school in Tecumseh, that county. He was ambitious in the matter of securing a liberal education, and through his own efforts largely defrayed the expenses of his university course. He was matriculated in the literary department of the celebrated University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, and was graduated as a member of the class of 1871, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science, and having completed the full four years' course. He then passed two years in the medical department of his alma mater, being graduated in 1874 and receiving his well earned degree of Doctor of Medicine. In 1875 Dr. Chambers came to Fort Wayne, where he initiated the practice of his profession and where he has built up a large and representative business during the long intervening years, being recognized as one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the beautiful "Summit City" and being held in the highest esteem by his professional contemporaries and by the general public. He has held membership in the Allen County Medical Society, the State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. In politics he has given support to the Democratic and Prohibition parties. Dur- ing his college courses Dr. Chambers provided for his own sup- port and for the other expenses involved by teaching in the public schools of Michigan, and for one year he was principal of the high school at Marine City, that state. He keeps in the front rank in the matter of following out the advances made in the sciences of medicine and surgery, and is known as a man of exceptionally high professional attainments. During one year he was lecturer on chem- istry in the Fort Wayne Medical College. Dr. Chambers is a zeal- ous member of the Third Presbyterian church of Fort Wayne, in which he has served as ruling elder for the past score of years. In the year 1877 was solemnized the marriage of Dr. Chambers to Miss Jennie C. Sinks, of Sidney, Ohio.

Obituary:
A sad case of drowning occurred at this place Sunday noon last. Herbert, a young man 18 or 19 years of age, a son of Mr. Seneca Chambers and who has been in the employ of John Arneill, of Wrightstown, for several years past, came home to spend the Sabbath with his parents, when he in company with two boys much younger than himself went swimming below the lower locks, nearly opposite his fathers residence. He had not been in the water but a short time when he was taken with cramps and before assistance could be rendered sank to the bottom. His body was recovered about four o'clock in the afternoon, and on Monday, was taken to Greenleaf for burial, his former home. The unfortunate young man had many friends in this vicinity all of whom will deeply mourn his dad death.

[his obit was in the June 26 1884 Kaukauna Times. Seneca is my great great grandfather. Herbert "disappeared" after the 1880 census, and I finally found his obit on the Kaukauna Library search engine. He had a brother Clarence who also disappeared, but no obit yet. I am not local (live in Dallas) so am curious if you know of any cemeteries in Greenleaf. ]
