Portrait & Biographical Record Winnebago & Boone Cos., IL. Chicago: Biographical Pub. Co., 1892, pp 574-577
This practical and intelligent farmer is a native of LeRoy Township, Boone County [IL], and makes his home on the splendid farm where his birth occurred 03 Jun 1854. He has been successful so far in his farming operations, which can be attributed to his persistent industry, his wise forethought and his prudent thrift.
The father of our subject, Joseph CHAMERLAIN, was a native of Delaware County, NY, having been born 07 May 1813. The lady to whom he was married bore the name of Sallie P. HOVEY, and is also a native NY, where she was born in Apr 1822.

In social matters he is a member of the Odd Fellows, and has adopted the political views of the Republican party, being active in promoting its success.
