Died Suddenly In Los Angeles, Cal.
Mrs. Mary Chamberlain Was Former Oberlin Girl—Interment Here Friday Morning
A wire was received here last Saturday from Los Angeles, advising friends of the death in that city, last Friday, of Mrs. Mary Life Chamberlain. She had recently recovered from an operation and had accompanied her husband, Dr. Charles J. Chamberlain, O. C. '88, professor emeritus of the University of Chicago, on a lecture trip to California. Death was due to heart trouble.
Mary Life was born in Oberlin, February 3, 1866, the second daughter of S. Life, who for many years owned a shoe store on West College street. She was educated in the local schools, [graduated from OHS in 1883,] and studied in the conservatory from 1884 to 1886. For a number of years she was a member of the Second church choir.
On July 30, 1888, she was united in marriage with Charles Chamberlain, son of the late Edsel Chamberlain of this place, he having graduated that year from Oberlin College. Shortly after they took up their residence in Chicago, where he taught in the university until his retirement about five years ago.
Besides her husband she leaves one daughter, Mrs. Mabel Allsopp of Pittsburgh, and one grandson. A brother, George Life, of Chicago, also survives. A sister, Mrs. Lottie Clark, died a number of years ago, while located temporarily with her family in Rome, Italy.
The services are being held today in Chicago. Relatives will accompany the body here Friday morning, where burial will take place in the family lot in Westwood.
