CHAMBERLAIN:  Holmesville, Chenango Co. NY:  Mrs. Eliza Chamberlain died suddenly of heart disease Sunday night.  She retired well as usual.  Near midnight she grew restless, was coughing some and the Elder gave her some medicine.  She expressed a wish that someone else was with her.  As the Elder left her to call a woman in the house, he noticed she moved slightly and threw back her head.  In this position he found her a few seconds later.  She did not breath again.  A crowded Church at the funeral on Wednesday told of respect for the departed one and great sympathy for Elder Chamberlain in his bereavement.

Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, Nov. 24, 1877:  The many friends of Rev. J. Chamberlain sympathize deeply with him in his sad bereavement by the death of his estimable wife.  For nearly sixty years he has been associated with the history of our beautiful valley.  He has officiated at numberless weddings and buried hundreds in our cemeteries, in hope of a glorious resurrection.  Years ago, he followed the wife of his youth to the city of the dead, and both his daughters have found the same hallowed resting place.  Now, when he has passed the threescore and ten years to which so few attain, he is called to lay aside his last earthly prop and is left alone.  May God, whom he has served so long and faithfully, sustain him.
