Chamberlain, Lovicy Worden
Died in China township, Feb. 16, 1898, at the residence of her son-in-law, Aaron McMillan, Mrs. Lovicy Chamberlain, aged 81 years, 9 months and 26 days.
Lovicy Worden was born in South Bristol Ontario Co., N. Y. April 20, 1816. She came with her parents to Michigan in 1826. Her father bought a tract of land on St. Clair River, now known as the Donahue farm, and here she lived until her marriage with Porter Chamberlain where she has always lived. Six children were born to them but only three survive her, viz: Mr. John Chamberlain, Mrs. Aaron McMillan and Mrs. Ada Robbins, with whom she has lived and who has most tenderly and lovingly cared for her since her widowhood in 1887. Mrs. Chamberlain can be considered one of the pioneers of St. Clair Co. for the farms which now show scarcely a trace of woodland was a forest when she came to the state. Educational advantages in those early days were few and meager, yet she acquired an fair knowledge of books; and reading was a source of profit as well as pleasure to her until the failure of her sight a few years ago which entirely deprived her of this privilege. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Robbins, who on account of illness of herself and family, were unable to be with her mother during her last hours.
About two weeks before her death it was thought best to have her visit her other daughter, during the illness in the family of Mrs. Robbins, leaving home in usual health, but never to enter or be seen in life by those loved ones again; but all that loving hands could do was done to prolong her life in this world, but to no avail.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. A. Tripp after which she was laid to rest by the side of her husband in East China cemetery.
In the resurrection morning,
When the ransomed host shall rise,
We will meet our loved and lost ones
In the home beyond the skies.
"Where the wicked cease from troubling"
And the weary are at rest,
We will meet thee, dearest mother,
In the mansions of the blest.
