DEATH OF MR. F. D. CHAMBERS.
-----
Prominent in Business and Commercial Life of Charlotte, Mr. Frederick D. Chambers Dies in Sanatorium--Succumbs to Malady After Eight Months' Illness--Was Charitable and Cheerful--Funeral Today.
Mr. Frederick D. Chambers passed awin in the Charloote sanatorium yesterday morning at 7:10 o'clock after fighting for life against a malady with which he had been suffering a number of years. His death will be learned with a considerable degree of sadness for when he enjoyed good health, he enjoyed making friends and holding them. He was a successful business man and prominent in the commercial life of the city and leaves a very valuable estate. His passing is not a surprise and a shock for his condition has been critical for several months and it was only by his stubborn resistance that he held out so long. Mr. Chambers was 37 years old. The primary cause of his death was diabetes. This brought on other complications which hastened the end. Every possible attention was given him after the disease seized him with a relentless grasp January 1, 1910, and compelled the abandonment of his business. A trip to the German hospital in Philadelphia and a month in Florida were taken to restore his health. These, however, had only temporary effect and perhaps prolonged his life a few weeks. His passing was peaceful. His brother, Mr. W. J. Chambers, and his physician were at his bedside yesterday morning.
Mr. Chambers was born in Danville, Va., March 3, 1873. He came to Charlotte in 1893 and after he became of age in 1895, Mr. W. J. Chambers took him into a business partnership, forming a grain and feed concern known as F. D. Chambers & Co. He displayed a decided business acumen and in 1898 the firm was enlarged under the name of Chambers & Moody. In 1905 the concern with which he was identified took over the Carolina Grocery Company and became Chambers & Moody Co., which did a grain, feed and wholesale grocery business on South College street. Mr. Chambers was faithful to business and remained active until his health compelled him to give it up. His interest was sold to Messrs. C. P. Moody and W. W. Grier and he went to the sanitorium for treatment. His improvement was slow and he followed the advice of his physician and went to Florida where he spent the month of February. On March 25 he came back to Charlotte and re-entered the sanatorium.
Two weeks ago Mr. W. J. Chambers accompanied him to the German hospital in Philadelphia where he was examined by Drs. John and Harry Deaver. It was thought an operation might give him relief but he never recuperated sufficiently to undergo it and returned to Charlotte.
When in good health he was always kind-hearted and did many acts of charity of which the public never knew.
Surviving him are four brothers: Messrs. W. J. Chambers of this city, George W. Chambers of Matthews, F. A. Chambers of Welch, Okla., and D. G. Chambers of Carbon Hill. All of his brothers will be here for the funeral with the exception of Mr. F. A. Chambers. The extreme distance makes it impossible for him to reach here.
The funeral will take place this afternoon from the residence of Rev. S. F. Conrad, No. 6 West Third street. He is a nephew of Mrs. Cornad. Rev. D. M. Austin will conduct the services and the interment will be in Elmwood. The following will act as pall-bearers: Messrs. John M. Wilson, W. W. Grier, W. J. Edward, G. M. Kislter and Charles P. Moody.
