The funeral of John Chambers who died Friday night of typhoid fever, took place Monday at 11 o'clock. His remains were interred in the Peck cemetery and the procession that followed them there was perhaps the longest ever witnessed in the township. Mr. Chambers was one of the most highly respected young men in our county and was acquainted far and near. He left a large circle of near and dear friends to mourn his death. His father who has had the same disease for several weeks, is not expected to live very long.
