The following are excerpts from a 2-part article on the Loon Lake Cemetery by Regional Editor, Hudson Lew, published in November 1974 in the Worthington Daily Globe, Worthington, Minnesota.
"And there is John Chandler. His stone says only 1845-1908. It fails to say Chandler Lake and Chandler Rural School were named after him, or that he served with distinction as pastor of the old Loon Lake Baptist Church, or that he married the daughter of Sylvenus Allen who was a religious and community leader in the lakes region right after the Civil War."
"In 1908, John Chandler, a son-in-law of Sylvenus Allen was called back from the state of Washington to serve as pastor of the church. He died suddenly later that year but not before he had baptized 15 new members in Pearl Lake. He lies beside father-in-law up on the hill."
"The next year, his flock finally decided to build a church. Ground was broken October 16, 1909. New Year's Eve services were held in the partially completed building which was dedicated the next June. It cost $2,050 and was debt free."
