Stephen George Chandler, son of Stephen and Eliza Killick Chandler was born 13 Jan 1857, Keymer, Sussex, England. He and a sister Jane came to the United States when he was sixteen with or in company of Saints in 1873 on the ship Idaho. Their passage was paid by the Perpetual Emmigration Fund. They both worked on a farm for Mr. Woodmansey out of Ogden, Utah for a year to earn transportation to bring their parents and younger brother William to America. But through something or other they didn't get their money and had to work for another year.
George as he was better known worked at many trades in Utah such as a brewery and a brick plant. On 30 Oct 1880 he married Sarah Ann Hemsley in the Salt Lake Endowment House. To this union seven daughters and as on were added. In the spring of 1886 he was called to help settle Idaho what was then, and still is known as Egin Bench. He set out with a team and wagon, a few tools and settled on 160 aces, where he got out cottowood trees and built a wo room house with clay roof, two windows and rough lumber bloor which was a luxury then. Their living was very mager and almost next to nothing. The closest store was twenty miles away at Market Lake, now known as Roberts. He hauled water for all pourposes from Snake river for years.
He helped put the first canal on the bench, leaving Monday morning with team wagon and scraper along with some salt bacon and bread maybe a few beans and come back home Saturday night or Sunday. He would let the horses rest and walk ten miles to Parker to get the mail.
The Bench was a very sandy soil and the first water on the land ran though like a sieve. The sage brush was thick and tall and many gump weeds and prickly pears.
In the early days undertakers were unheard of, so because George was strong he was always called on for miles around when anyone was seriously ill or passed on to sit up and prepare them for burial. He was always willing.
In about 1897 he made the brick and built the first brick house on Egin Bench. He was one of the first school trustes and was always one of the main persons at an election, school or National and most always a judge. He liked sports and played baseball in the commmunity
In 1905 he rented his farm and left for England on a 27 month mission, returning in 1908 when he was appointed presiding bishop at Plano ward while his brother-in-law fulfilled a two year mission. He was very active in most all church work, had a very strong bass voice and liked to sing. He also served a six month mission in Califorina.
George operated a grocery store in Plano in later years. He was a good public mixer and enjoyed visiting old friends and neighbors, and hard worker, good provider and very punctual an all appointments. He passed away in December 1928 from a telescoped intestine. Three daughters preeded him in death and he was survived by an ailing wife and an invalid daughter to whom he was very faithful and four other married children.
