CHAMBERLAIN: At Mt. Upton [Chenango Co. NY], May 25th, Mr. Calvin Chamberlain, aged 55 years.
Another of our aged citizens has been called to that undiscovered country beyond the shadows of the valley of death. Mr. Calvin Chamberlain died at the residence of his son-in-law, Joseph Marsh, on Thursday evening last, at the advanced age of eighty-four years. Mr. Chamberlian was born in the town of Butternuts, Otsego County [NY], in 1793, and since that early period has always lived at or near this place [Mt. Upton, Chenango Co. NY]. The farm now owned by his son, Cyrenus Chamberlian, was reclaimed by him from a howling wilderness and made one of the pleasantest and most productive in the valley. What changes have taken place within the compass of his long life! The grand primeval forest that lined the banks of our beautiful river, have given place to smiling fields and prosperous villages, and the screech of the locomotive wakes the echoes among the hills that in his early life rang to the whoop of the wild Indian, or the music of the woodman's axe. For sixty years, Mr. Chamberlain has been a member of the Methodist Church and in no place will he be missed more than in the sanctuary he has so long been connected with and helped to sustain. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Morse, on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.

Death was to him a welcome messenger, for it unfolded the gates of eternal life.

Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, May 30, 1877: Mr. Calvin Chamberlain, one of the oldest citizens of Mt. Upton, died May 25th, 1877, aged 85 years. Mr. Chamberlain has been a life-long subscriber of the Telegraph, and his long and busy life has been identified with the history of our Valley. More than half a century ago he united with Union M.E. Church, near which was his home. He died as he had lived--well. Death was a vanquished foe. His large family circle of children and grandchildren will cherish the memory of a -?- and faithful Christian father.
